7 Aug 2019 | | Abstract: | As the oldest science common to all human cultures, astronomy has a unique
connection to indigenous knowledge (IK) and the long history of indigenous
scientific contributions. Many STEM disciplines, agencies and institutions have
begun to do the work of recruiting and retaining underrepresented minorities,
including indigenous, Native American and Native Hawaiian professionals.
However, with the expansion of telescope facilities on sacred tribal or
indigenous lands in recent decades, and the current urgency of global crises
related to climate, food/water sovereignty and the future of humanity, science
and astronomy have the opportunity more than ever to partner with indigenous
communities and respect the wealth of sustainable practices and solutions
inherently present in IK. We share a number of highly successful current
initiatives that point the way to a successful model of "collaboration with
integrity" between western and indigenous scholars. Such models deserve serious
consideration for sustained funding at local and institutional levels. We also
share six key recommendations for funding agencies that we believe will be
important first steps for nonindigenous institutions to fully dialog and
partner with indigenous communities and IK to build together towards a more
inclusive, sustainable and empowering scientific enterprise. | | Source: | arXiv, 1908.2822 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
