Indigenous ingenuity Wildcat addresses local and global environmental issues Lindsey Treffry Argonaut

Native Americans have a strong connection with nature, and one in particular believes indigenous values are crucial to reducing humanity’s impact on the environment. Daniel R. Wildcat, auWKRU RI ´5HG $OHUW 6DYLQJ the Planet with Indigenous Knowledge” and director of the University of Idaho’s American Indian studies program, will speak to students and faculty at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the UI /DZ 6FKRRO &RXUWURRP DV part of the Distinguished American Indian speaker series. This event is free and sponsored by UI $PHULFDQ ,QGLDQ 6WXGLHV Program, which is led by Janis Johnson. “There’s a disconnect between facing realities and living sustainably,” Johnson said. “‘Red Alert!’ is realistic in its ideas about solving human and environmental problems.” Wildcat said his book and upcoming lecture discuss KRZ WKH 8 6 KDV DGRSWHG a “one size fits all” type of culture. “What we really need to do is think about indigenizing world views, to begin to understand that biological, economical and environmental diversity is deeply connected to people WKDW UHÁHFW WKDW LQ WKHLU FXOtures,” Wildcat said.

In order to do that, Wildcat said, we must reconnect to our surroundings like Native Americans have. “Indigenous people can still remind us the power that resides in that kind of thinking — that we’re not in any way above nature,” Wildcat said.

“I think that there is a point and while it is not formally laid out, the Occupy Wall Street protests are a chance for people to voice their concerns over socioeconomic inequality. I think social movements, like this one, are a huge way to get policy changed or enacted. I think social movements are more effective when they have an overall goal (in this case SES equality) and not a direct list of demands. Having demands causes both parties to start the offense and do not create negotiation. I also hope that this encourages more individuals to go out and vote in the upcoming election. The Tea Party had a similar movement and seats in both the federal Congress and many states’ congresses. Their voices are being heard and it’s about time that the rest of our nation speaks up.� Curtis Lybeer Date posted: Oct. 17 SEE VOICES, PAGE 10
