This paper reflects upon the numerous projects that have emerged from the Show Me Your Math (SMYM) program since 2007. SMYM was inspired by conversations with Mi’kmaw Elders about the mathematics inherent in community cultural practices. Youth from Mi’kmaw Kina’matnewey (MK) community schools and public schools engaged in similar conversations with Elders and knowledge keepers to create projects that were shared annually at the regional math fair. These examples show how mathematical knowledge has always existed in Mi’kmaw communities and how the mathematical ideas emerge from Mi’kmaw cultural values.
