HUNAP Colloquium

Rose Honey, EdD Candidate

"The Moose and the Moon: Culturally Integrated Science Education With Blackfeet, Eastern Shoshone, and Oglala Lakota Students"

Wednesday, March 2, 2011

12:00 to 1:00

Lunch Provided

 

Rose Honey will present her dissertation research, currently in progress, which explores the motivation, interest and academic benefits gained by American Indian students who regularly participate in an informal science program, called the Native Science Field Centers (NSFC), which provides educational programs for youth and adults by integrating American Indian traditional knowledge and language with Western science.   Rose Honey works with three NSFCs, located on the Blackfeet, Pine Ridge, and Wind River reservations, teaching American Indian youth a culturally integrated science education.  Her study is a comparison between participants in this program and students who do not attend the program, and how program participation might influence interest and motivation to learn cultural knowledge, as it relates to environmental science and the ability to integrate traditional and scientific knowledge.

Duane Champagne, Discussion of “Notes from the Center of Turtle Island”

Thursday,  March 3, 2011

12:00 to 1:00

Lunch Provided

 

Since October 2006 Duane Champagne has offered contemplative, thought provoking editorials on American Indian policy, history, and culture in the news ‐paper Indian Country Today. Notes from the Center of Turtle Island compiles many of these editorials as well as several commentaries not previously published. The subjects of his columns have come from his work directly with many tribal communities as well as through his academic research. His intention has been to provoke discussion about issues confronting indigenous peoples and to educate the broader public about the complexities of American Indian life.

 

Duane Champagne received his Ph.D. from Harvard in Sociology in 1982. He's been a faculty member of Sociology and American Indian Studies at UCLA since 1984 and he is a leading scholar of American Indian Studies.
