Envisioning an academic writing experience that centers Indigenous epistemologies, pedagogies, and cosmologies that conceptualize relationship
to the land, while drawing upon insights into these topics from local syilx perspectives.What does that mean? Creating a guide that enfolds many Indigenous perspectives relating to writing, while connecting learning to key concepts within syilx knowledge systems such
as:
- -Identity, what it means to be syilx (those who
twine-many-into-one)- concepts of land, tmixw (life-force-place)
- to the way we interact with knowledge and
each other through an oppositional dynamics
model, enowkinwixw (share knowledge reciprocally)
