The Biden Administration is forming a working group on Indigenous Traditional and Ecological Knowledge. That is among the innovations announced at the recent White House Tribal Nations Summit. It’s also a sign of increasing awareness about the value of Native knowledge and science. We’ll talk with Indigenous scholars about acceptance and recognition of Indigenous knowledge and science in academia in light of so many past efforts to suppress them.
Guests:
Lorisia MacLeod (member of the James Smith Cree Nation) – learning services librarian at the Alberta Library
Dr. Gregory Cajete (Santa Clara Pueblo) – professor emeritus and former director of Native American studies at University of New Mexico
Dr. Shandin Pete (Salish and Navajo) – assistant professor of teaching at the University of British Columbia in the earth, ocean and atmospheric sciences
