target="_blank">Pacific Institute for Mathematical Sciences</a> on a joint project of making mathematical models of some of the Tla’amin traditions.</p> <p>The Tla’amin name of the project is: qaθɛtštəm kʷʊms taʔəw which translates in English as “we will be together in our teachings.”</p> <p>At a recent meeting, each member of the project team was gifted a Möbius strip woven by a group of members of the Tla'amin Nation.</p> <p>Since the Möbius strip, as a one-sided and one-edged surface is often used as a symbol for infinity and unity, under the guidance of Elder Betty Wilson and with help from Mrs. Marina Mohar (photo) and Ms. Juliet Neun-Hornick (font design) the project logo has been created (see photo).</p> <p>After creating mathematical models and learning resources based on the traditional <a href="https://theconversation.com/indigenous-basket-weaving-makes-an-excellent-digital-math-lesson-110094" target="_blank">basket weaving</a> and the <a
