Actor Nathaniel Arcand explains that everything is made of atoms, from the ocean to the mountains, air and us. We're all connected. Indigenous ancestors used chemistry when they preserved foods, made medicine, and sealed canoes. When Cree actress Glenda Klassan was young, she watched the elders use chemistry to tan hides for clothes and moccasins. They honoured the animals they hunted by using all the parts. Christie Lee Charles of the Musqueam Nation performs a lively Halkomelem (Hul'qumi'num) hip hop music piece, and in the animated story "Kokum and the Spider" Kokum finds ancient sea-salt deposits for her stew. Kai makes glue using the chemical reactions of milk mixed with vinegar and baking soda. Cree senator, Dr. Lillian Dyck, a role model for girls in science, was a neuroscientist who studied brain chemistry and worked on treatments for Alzheimer's disease. The questers learn about the chemical effects of baking powder in bannock. Chemistry is the science of combining different elements from the periodic table to make compounds. Chickasaw Nation astronaut, John Herrington, describes the scientific process indigenous women used to make hominy; when corn was mixed with alkaline wood ash, nixtamalization made the corn easier to digest and store
