Raising Indigenous Voices in Academia: A Conference on the Scholarship of
Indigenous Knowledge

Seneca Resort and Casino, Niagara Falls, NY/USA

September 17-19, 2020

http://www.umt.edu/nsilc/contact.php  

https://senecaniagaracasino.com/ 

 

 

Organized by:

Dr. Neyooxet Greymorning, Executive Director of Hinono'eitiit Ho'oowu'
(Arapaho Language Lodge) and Professor of Anthropology at the University of
Montana-Missoula, USA

Dr. Zachary Androus, Professor-Director of the Florence Ethnographic Field
School, Florence, Italy

 

Proposals for paper presentations, posters/exhibits, interactive sessions,
or innovative showcases are encouraged from areas including, but not limited
to, archaeology, ethnobotany, historical anthropology, linguistic
anthropology, political-legal anthropology, socio-cultural anthropology, and
any other relevant discipline. 

 

Potential topics include:

*	The viability of converting Indigenous research activities into
positions at colleges and universities
*	When applying Indigenous driven research methodologies for
universities, should there be concern over this being appropriated in ways
that benefit non-Indigenous scholars and, if so, can it be minimized?
*	Overcoming obstacles and resistance to Indigenous approaches and
participation at colleges and universities
*	Engaging academic communities through Indigenous research and
scholarship
*	Perspectives on the past from Indigenous archaeologists and cultural
heritage resource managers
*	Finding a balance between anthropological and Indigenous ways of
knowing
*	Identifying what constitutes effective teaching of Indigenous
languages at an institutional level and in everyday life

 

A central conference theme of Raising Indigenous Voices in Academia is to
highlight Indigenous knowledge and scholarship with the goal to raise
awareness of the lack of Indigenous scholars representing Indigenous
scholarship in academia. Specific times have been set aside for attendees to
discuss thoughts about the scholarship presented and how that can contribute
to college and university communities. All scholars and administrators are
welcome to register and attend. Indigenous scholars, as perhaps the most
underrepresented ethnic group globally, are especially encouraged to submit
a presentation proposal.

 

To propose a presentation, please send an abstract of 120 words, together
with a short biographical note to agmriva2020 at gmail.com
<mailto:agmriva2020 at gmail.com>  by March 1, 2020. Please be sure to include
your name, affiliation (tribal and/or professional), the title and type
(paper, poster, etc.) of your proposed presentation, as well as your city,
country, and email address.

 

To register as an attendee without making a presentation, please send an
email to agmriva2020 at gmail.com <mailto:agmriva2020 at gmail.com>  with your

email address.  

 

Invited speakers, who will be participating in the panel sessions, are
scheduled to include:

*	Miami scholar and MacArthur Foundation "Genius Grant" recipient,
Daryl Baldwin, "The Myammia Center: Tribally Directed Research for Language
Revitalization"
