"What we're coming together to do is really build creative collaborations among indigenous peoples in order to see what our best practices for student centered learning are. Where are our students at? How are they engaging with material? How are they engaging culture? How are they engaging education?" said Sala, who says it's critical to target youth. "Main thing is to create a pipeline so that you're not waiting for graduate education, you're starting really young. Part of this conference is to say children have an amazing role to play. They have an amazing capacity for education. They have an amazing capacity to understand the world around them. Part of WIPC:E is to remind us of those things and really get to the heart of those things so that we can capitalize on that moment in a child's life."
