The Native American Academy

Indigenous Knowledge
and the Nature
of
Science & Learning

  

The Native American Academy was founded by a circle of Native scholars and Traditional Knowledge Holders. It is now a network of native and non-native people that has been developing for 18 years through research, dialogue, writing and action projects focused on making the Native world view, Native science and Indigenous learning processes visible in community, national and international forums.
The Academy is dedicated to preserving and protecting Indigenous knowledge and fostering partnerships between Native and Western world views.
