Treaties and Higher Education: The Preparation of Educators and Social Service Providers
Tribal Communities entered into treaties with the United States as
self-determined sovereign nations. In the language and law of the
treaties, Tribes reserved the right to determine their approaches to
addressing the social, economic,... and health issues that face their
citizens. How are the US and educational institutions fulfilling treaty
responsibilities in the preparation of educators and social service
providers. Our Fourth International Conference will endeavor to bring
together Tribal Communities and educational institutions.
Each year we seek to cross conventional academic disciplines in order
better to represent Indigenous Ways of Knowing. Panels will be formed
from presentation abstracts that cover Law, Political Science, History,
Art, Human Development, Individual and Community Health, Ecology &
Environmental Science with particular emphasis upon continuation and
development of innovative systems and structures that most effectively
empower Indigenous Communities. Each panel will be a combination of
traditional and academic presentations.
The Indigenous Ways of Knowing Program and Conference are devoted to
learning from living Indigenous cultures as a tangible and exemplary
practice in support of multiculturalism in action. To this end, all
conference attendees will be participating in small group discussions
alongside conference presenters to catalyze practical application of the
concepts presented.

4th Annual International Indigenous Ways of Knowing Conference
Time:9:00AM Thursday, January 14th
Location:Lewis & Clark College
Center for Community Engagement
The Gift, Lewis Hyde's groundbreaking study of creativity, explores the meaning of art in a market-driven society. Hyde asks questions central to the lives of artists as well as teachers and others who serve the public good: How do we discover work that satisfies beyond financial compensation? What is the artist's role... in a consumer culture? What are our norms for reciprocity and how do gifts create bonds in communities? Hyde's current project extends these questions to the realm of the "cultural commons" -- "that vast store of unowned ideas, inventions, and works of art we have inherited from the past, and that we continue to create." As we debate "intellectual property," cultural "piracy," and what counts as shared "cultural literacy," these issues take on renewed urgency.
Lewis Hyde is a poet, essayist, translator, and cultural critic with a particular interest in the public life of the imagination. In addition to The Gift, he is the author of Trickster Makes This World, which he uses a group of ancient myths to argue for the kind of disruptive intelligence all cultures need if they are to remain lively, flexible, and open to change.

These are young people who were educated in American s...chools, hold American values, know only the U.S. as home and who, simply by turning 18, becoming "illegal" immigrants. 65,000 undocumented students graduate every year from high school without "papers" and the door to their future slams shut.
