Title: "A Philosophy of Indigeneity"
12:30 - 2:00 p.m., 124 Sparks Building
The concept of indigeneity can be used to effectively understand distinct
dimensions of the oppression and contemporary circumstances of Native
North Americans. It also is a concept that explains important features of
Indigenous social movements, both those of tribal governments and those of
activists, especially in light of the current challenges facing Indigenous
peoples worldwide.
