土地确认

The space that we currently occupy, 萨拉索塔, was acquired through the territorial dispossession of Native Nations, including the Seminole and Miccosukee, who have historical claims to this land. We acknowledge that our occupation of this land has come at the expense of their displacement. Indigenous people are contemporary people who live throughout the state of Florida on reservations and in cities, 我们承认他们, 以及他们的祖先, 是我们的主人吗?.

As a public and intellectually rigorous institution, it is our duty to think critically about what our occupation of this land means. We must challenge ourselves to consider our relationship to the land and to ethically engage with the histories and cultures of Indigenous peoples who have called this land home. This is not the end of the conversation, but the beginning of a long and difficult process of mapping a more equitable future.

特色课程

Conservation and Indigenous Knowledge

尖刺外壳3320

This seminar focuses on the ways local and indigenous understandings of the environment compliment, 复杂化, and conflict with goals of conservation. 学生 will examine the idea of “indigeneity,” compare multiple forms and definitions of “traditional ecological knowledge,” and consider the multifaceted processes of knowledge production involved in creating cultural and environmental systems of understanding. Course reading will also study the relationship between “indigenous” and “scientific” knowledge, the challenges of community-based conservation paradigms, the on-going debates over indigenous intellectual property rights, and contemporary indigenous environmental rights movements.
