Futurity of Indigenous Knowledge

Catalog description

Indigenous knowledge systems have existed since time immemorial, but have only recently been acknowledged in their validity by Western academic spaces. Acknowledges not only the need to bolster, explore, re-discover and acknowledge sanctity but also recognizes the need to circumvent the stereotypical perception of Indigenous communities as past and/or nonexistent. Seeks to envision Indigenous futurity with regard to elements of identity, place, history and more, recognizing that past generations have not always been afforded means by which to keep culturally important ways of being and doing safe in the same way done now.
