Author's StatementMy ancestors were engineers. They did amazing things, especially when it came to food systems … a fishpond is a really great example of a food system that was engineered that is really sustainable and really good for the environment and gives back as much as it takes, if not gives back more. And I think that that’s one way, is this knowing and thinking about how science has existed before it became science within my people and culture. And then moving forward for myself, how can I continue to show this intersection of it, rather than [saying], “That’s not science,” and building that more?
