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.
