Abstract

S P R I N G & F A L L 2 0 2 0 W I C A Z O S A R E V I E W In a world where the place of Indigenous studies has been, to some extent, accepted within colleges and universities, can we confidently say that this acceptance— or incorporation— is occurring in a meaningful and lasting way? What does it even mean to “incorporate” a field that relies in large part on the use of Indigenous pedagogies, methodologies, ontologies, and epistemologies? Is it a matter of fitting such a field into preexisting colonial institutional structures or must there be a more rigorous process of coming to terms with what it truly means to support Indigenous studies? Can you “indigenize the academy”? Jerry Fontaine (Sagkeeng First Nations) and Don McCaskill take up the above questions in Dibayndiziwin (To Own Ourselves): Embodying OjibwayAnishinabe Ways and challenge the possibility of incorporating Indigenous epistemologies and ontologies into reconciliationbased efforts promoted by Western institutions of higher learning in Canada. Dibayndiziwin is primarily an Anishinabe studies text, one that prioritizes Anishinabespecific world views and “inahdiziwin” and “nahnahngahdahwaynjigaywin”— Anishinabe ways of knowing and being that are loosely compatible with the concepts of ontology and epistemology (p. 15). Though this monograph does speak broadly to Indigenous studies as a whole and to other Indigenous nations’ own Dibayndiziwin (To Own Ourselves): Embodying OjibwayAnishinabe Ways by Jerry Fontaine and Don McCaskill Dundurn Press, 2022
杰里·方丹和唐·麦卡斯基尔的《拥有自己:体现奥吉布希的方式》(评论)
在一个土著研究在某种程度上已被学院和大学接受的世界里,我们是否可以自信地说,这种接受-或纳入-正在以一种有意义和持久的方式发生?“合并”一个在很大程度上依赖于使用本土教学法、方法论、本体论和认识论的领域是什么意思?这是一个将这样一个领域与先前存在的殖民制度结构相适应的问题,还是必须有一个更严格的过程来理解支持土著研究的真正意义?你能把学院“本土化”吗?Jerry Fontaine (Sagkeeng First Nations)和Don McCaskill在《Dibayndiziwin (To Own Ourselves): Embodying OjibwayAnishinabe Ways)》一书中探讨了上述问题,并挑战了将土著认识论和本体论纳入加拿大西方高等教育机构所推动的基于和解的努力的可能性。《Dibayndiziwin》主要是一部《阿尼什纳研究》,它优先考虑了阿尼什纳的特定世界观,以及“inahdiziwin”和“nahnahngahdawaynjigaywin”——阿尼什纳的认识和存在方式与本体论和认识论的概念大致相容(第15页)。虽然这本专著确实广泛地涉及到整个土著研究和其他土著民族自己的Dibayndiziwin(拥有自己):体现OjibwayAnishinabe的方式,由Jerry Fontaine和Don McCaskill dundunn出版社,2022
