Indigenous Ways of Knowing

Catalog description

This course examines Indigenous knowledge and ways of knowing to gain an appreciation of an epistemology and ontology that may be outside the boundaries of Eurocentric theory, concepts, and principles. The course explores and analyzes the nature and ways that Native Americans’ develop knowledge as well as the concepts and composition of metaphysics and cosmology. Students analyze knowledge development through mythology and storytelling by emphasizing the nature of difference rather than comparative analysis.
