Learning from Native Knowledge Respectfully and Responsibly.
Learning from Native Knowledge Respectfully and Responsibly.
A 6-week Learning Journey with Lyla June
One Course to Reshape Your Future - and the Planet’s.
The world is becoming more and more interested in Indigenous practices and paradigms as Western systems falter. But how do we respectfully engage with the carriers of this knowledge and with the knowledge itself? Moreover, how do we explore and connect with our own Indigenous roots, whoever we are?
Join our first ever course led by Dr. Lyla June exploring how to respectfully connect with and receive Indigenous knowledge as visitors from outside a given Native community. Identify and unlearn the conscious and unconscious ways we’ve adopted extractivist and colonial paradigms, which prevent us from engaging with Native knowledge constructively and respectfully.
Indigenous knowledge systems (IKS) are encoded with unique principles, values, goals, strategies, arts, sciences, and ways of knowing that can support the world today. But before we receive this knowledge it is important to learn how to honor the communities from which they come and do so respectfully and responsibly.
