Making Connections Between Indigenous Cultural Teachings and the Scientific World
Kisha Supernant, Henry Fowler, and Tommy Rock
The 2nd Annual Indigenous Knowledge Symposium took place on March 25, 2022. Our theme was Making Connections Between Indigenous Cultural Teachings and the Scientific World. We had three fantastic presenters in the fields of archeology, mathematics, and environmental science. The goal of the event is to bring together campus faculty, staff, and students to learn more about the importance of Indigenous knowledge across academic disciplines and our speakers did a wonderful job of meeting that goal.

Sovereignty, Identity, and Indigenous Knowledge in Higher Education
Margaret Redsteer, Cynthia Benally, Samantha Benn-Duke, and Melissa Leilani Devencenzi
On March 19, 2021 MESAS held its Inaugural Indigenous Knowledge Symposium. The theme for the symposium was Identity, Sovereignty, and Indigenous Knowledge in Higher Education. The goal of the event was to bring together campus staff, faculty, and students to learn more about the importance of Indigenous Knowledge across various academic disciplines. The four speakers presented on how identity, sovereignty and indigenous knowledge have shaped their own work in earth science, education, language, and mental health.
The MESAS Indigenous Knowledge Symposium invites scholars to share their research, insights, and experiences working across various scientific disciplines. It is our hope that this annual symposium provides USU students, staff, faculty, and our larger community with an understanding of the critical role that Indigenous perspectives hold in the future of research and education.
