This is a small workshop proposal to bring together Yup'ik scientists and educators with their Saami colleagues in Norway for a 3 day workshop to explore mathematics in a cultural context. The workshop will examine Yup'ik and Saami mathematical systems through their connections to practice, epistemology, and cosmology. The PI, Dr. Jerry Lipka, has been working with Yup'ik elders and teachers for several years exploring the cognitive processes behind everyday tasks or problems such as: making a pattern for clothing, a process that not only involves geometry and mathematics but encompasses Yup'ik cosmology and cultural epistemology. The purpose of the workshop is to work together with Saami people to explore the possibility of an Arctic "indigenous" cognitive process that can be understood through mathematical principles.The workshop will take place at the Sami University College in Kautokeino, Norway. There is an expected 10-15 participants, including scholars from Taiwan, Australia, Canada and New Zealand at their own expense. In addition to the workshop the participants will be attending the World Indigenous Nations Higher Education Consortium meetings August 24th-26th.

这是一个小型研讨会的提议，将Yup'ik科学家和教育工作者与他们在挪威的萨米族同事聚集在一起，进行为期3天的研讨会，探索文化背景下的数学。工作坊将检视Yup'ik和Saami的数学系统与实践、认识论和宇宙论的关系。首席PI杰里·利普卡博士（Dr. Jerry Lipka）多年来一直与Yup' k长老和老师合作，探索日常任务或问题背后的认知过程，例如：制作服装图案，这一过程不仅涉及几何和数学，还涉及Yup' k宇宙学和文化认识论。研讨会的目的是与萨米人合作，探索北极“土著”认知过程的可能性，这种认知过程可以通过数学原理来理解。讲习班将在挪威凯图凯努的萨米大学学院举行。预计有10-15人参加，包括自费的来自台湾、澳大利亚、加拿大和新西兰的学者。除了研讨会之外，参与者还将参加8月24日至26日举行的世界土著民族高等教育联盟会议。
