Decolonizing requires us to recognize the limits of Western science
and reconcile academic research with Indigenous ways of knowing. This panel
will showcase efforts within our region to bring Indigenous knowledge and
decolonial approaches into scholarly methodologies, including the collection,
stewardship, and analysis of data from Native lands.
Panelists:
Darren Ranco, PhD (Penobscot), Chair of Native American Programs, University
of Maine (panel moderator)
Simone Whitecloud, PhD, Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa,
Research Ecologist, Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory, Hanover,
NH
Suzanne Greenlaw, Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians, Ph.D. Candidate in
Forest Resources, University of Maine
Natalie Michelle, Penobscot and Passamaquoddy, Ph.D. Candidate in
Interdisciplinary Studies, University of Maine
This year's Sidore Series, "Honoring the Mother of All People; Contemporary
Indigenous Leadership in Revitalizing Environmental and Cultural
Sustainability," will consider how Indigenous knowledge and
cultural heritage can deepen our thinking about sustainable futures.
