> Description: Indigenous Knowledge / Indigenous Ecological Knowledge
> (IK/TEK) and Perspectives place value and importance on realizing
> regenerative culture and earth, environmental, generational, and
> epistemological justice is becoming recognized in our professional academic
> societies (e.g., AASHE, AERA, ESA, NARST), research (e.g., AMAP.no) and
> action, but has yet to become widespread and embedded across the university
> curriculum. The Western worldview and mindset separate humans from nature
> and exploit nature, other humans, and nonhuman beings, whereas indigenous
> languages and world views are cooperative, relational, and embedded in
> nature with respect for nonhuman relatives. Indigenous relational ontology
> and epistemologies were denigrated and destroyed by colonization and
> cultural genocide and need to be revived to meet our current environmental
> degradation and injustice challenges. Indigenous peoples are environmental
> and climate justice action leaders as water and forest protectors and
> efforts to end fossil fuel use and contamination of our common home. This
> Seminar builds on John Jay College's leadership in environmental and earth
> justice curriculum and integrating sustainability in our college's
> strategic plan and AASHE STARS self-assessment.
>
> The Seminar builds upon the work and experience of the AASHE Earth as
> Relative workshop hosted by the University of Minnesota Bemidji, the
> Canadian Native American Reconciling Ways of Knowing series, and Indigenous
> Special Interest Groups of AERA, NARST, and ESA.
