In Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings o f Plants, Robin Wall Kimmerer argues for the necessity of recuperati ng indigenous epistemologies in order to ensure a more sustainable and f ulfilling human existence. A member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation and Distinguished Teaching Professor of Environmental Biology at the State University of New York, Kimmerer seeks to counter statesponsored attempt s to erase indigenous culture,
such as those typified by institutio ns like the Carlisle Indian Industrial School. Operating for nearly fort y years in Pennsylvania, the Carlisle School engaged in the forced enrol lment of indigenous children, subjecting them to an assimilationist curr iculum under hazardous, and sometimes fatal, living conditions. Against this legacy of erasure, Kimmerer foregrounds the need for a counter educ ation that would reverse the centuries-long effects of Western cultural hegemony. In this roundtable discussion, three panelists will suggest ho w such a reversal can be implemented and the possibilities and limitatio ns of our, in Kimmerer’s words, “becoming indigenous.”
