Place and Being: Higher Education as a Site for Creating Biskabii---Geographies of Indigenous Academic Identity

Abstract

dc:description

I use an Indigenous decolonizing process, as seen through a Dine and/or Anishinaabe lens. The approach can be understood in Dine and Anishinaabe terms as Hozho nahazdlii', Andaa Wenjigewin and Mino-Bimaadiziwin, respectively. These paradigms are related to auto-ethnographic and heuristic approaches to knowledge that center on the lived experiences of the researcher as the primary interpretive framework for analysis.
