Native American philosophy has enabled Native American cultures to
survive more than five hundred years of attempted cultural
assimilation. The first edition of this historical and
philosophical work was written as a text for the first course in
Native Philosophy ever offered by a philosophy department at a
Canadian university. This revised edition, based on more than
twenty-five years of research through the Native Philosophy Project
and funded in part by the Rockefeller Foundation, is expanded to
include extensive discussion of Native American philosophy and
culture in the United States as well as Canada. Topics covered
include colonialism, neocolonialism, the phenomenology of the
vision quest, the continuity of Native values, land and the
integrity of person, the role of cognitive science in supporting
Native narrative traditions, language in Indian life, landscape and
other-than-human entities, teaching Native American philosophy
through film and popular culture and the value of various research
methods for Native American philosophy. A vital addition to the
scholarly work examining Indian life in both Canada and the United
States.
