Indigenous ways of being and thinking are largely marginalized in the field of Philosophy. Professors Michael-Ing, Alexus McLeod, and Andrea-Sullivan-Clarke are working to put Indigenous Philosophy on the map. Workshops hosted at Indiana University on Hawai'i, Mesoamerican, and Native American philosophies will bring together traditional knowledge holders and philosophers to decolonize and Indigenize the field of Philosophy.
