In doing so, we center Indigenous knowledges and we honor that sociology is always taking place on Indigenous homelands.

Disrupting harmful legacies of Western education by honoring the living heritage of Indigenous knowledge systems
Indigenous peoples have knowledge systems that have sustained cultural teachings and lifeways for thousands of years. Settler colonial logics and systems have disrupted and threatened Indigenous knowledge systems through multiple forms of oppression, including land dispossession, linguicide, and disrupting traditional kinship relationships. Western education systems are central and foundational to this violent process; our paper describes efforts…
Racial-Ethnic Disparities in Hearing Aid Use: Price Responsiveness Among Older Adults with Hearing Loss
Indigenous Zoom: Relational Approaches to Virtual Learning
In this article, we reflect on the chaos and stress educators and students endured during the move to emergency remote teaching, acknowledge the ongoing need for relational approaches in our classrooms, and draw from Yakama teachings about how we might make educational spaces more welcoming for everyone. Our work in this article is a beginning, an offering, an invitation for us to pause and reflect on our experiences and to consider ways of movin…
Indigenous Genealogies of Relational Knowledge: Cedar Tree and Gray Squirrel as Important Relatives and Teachers
Indigenous peoples have education systems thousands of years old that have sustained our peoples in respectful relation with place. The backbone of our education systems is our stories and storytelling traditions. Beyond mere intellectual or analytical “texts” or “literature”, our stories place us in webs of relationships with sacred responsibilities. In this article, we discuss the importance of Indigenous genealogies of knowledge from both pers…
Centering Indigenous Brilliance in 'The Stories We Tell'☆
Indigenous stories are the backbone of Indigenous education systems. While Indigenous communities are still grappling with settler colonial-imposed violence, many Indigenous Nations are engaging in what Leanne Betasamosake Simpson describes as Indigenous resurgence. In our paper, we draw from our own Indigenous communities' teachings and discuss our peoples' ongoing storytelling traditions as important forms of resurgence, which contribute to a p…
Do You Know Where You Are? Bringing Indigenous Teaching Methods into the Classroom
Within sociological literature, Indigenous Studies and settler colonial theoretical frameworks are beginning to be regarded with greater respect and consideration. Yet, the discipline still struggles to emerge from the grasp of settler colonial assumptions; we continue to wait for U.S. Sociology to acknowledge and appreciate that all teaching, learning, and research on Turtle Island takes place on Indigenous homeland. It is a tall task to “decolo…

Results: Perceived discrimination was significantly and negatively associated with short-term and long-term retention and diabetes risk without adjusting. After controll…
Indigenous cultural values counter the damages of white settler colonialism
Settler colonialism is a violent process that harms all beings. We build upon environmental justice frameworks and argue for Indigenous values affirmation as a strategy for countering the violence of settler colonialism. We discuss the findings of a pilot project to create an Indigenous values affirmation tool with Indigenous peoples in the U.S. to provide context for our argument. We draw from Indigenous-centered literature, including Bacon’s co…
We Still Want a Lifelong Commitment, Not Just Sweet Words: Asserting an Indigenous Vision for Education
In this article, I engage in storytelling as an act of resistance and an act of love, following the ways that Linda Tuhiwai Smith discusses storytelling as an Indigenous research project and methodology. The stories I share in this article are about on-the-ground examples of decolonizing education within colleges and universities, across multiple institutional settings and geographic locations. In these stories I portray certain administrators as…
We Need to Make Action NOW, to Help Keep the Language Alive”: Navigating Tensions of Engaging Indigenous Educational Values in University Education
Despite centuries of contact and conquest, Indigenous communities persist in maintaining their cultures and psychologies. Key to this success in cultural survival is the maintenance of Indigenous languages, which contain distinct worldviews. However, Indigenous languages are at risk, with fewer and fewer fluent Elder speakers. Fortunately, there remain committed groups of community educators who carry out Indigenous language education. Current ma…

Theorizing Indigenous Student Resistance, Radical Resurgence, and Reclaiming Spiritual Teachings about Tma'áakni (Respect)
Indigenous dispossession and environmental devastation are intertwined outcomes of settler colonialism's cycle of violence. However, indigenous people continue to draw from cultural and spiritual teachings to resist such forms of violence, and engage in what Leanne Simpson calls "radical resurgence." Our paper analyzes the Yakama elders' teachings about Tma'áakni (Respect), to examine principles and forms of indigenous resistance and resurgence, …

The Gift of Education: How Indigenous Knowledges Can Transform the Future of Public Education
This article advocates for the necessity of Indigenous Knowledges in furthering Indigenous self-determination in public schools, as well as furthering the broad aims of public education. Drawing attention to past efforts across the United States to transform the public school curriculum and analyzing data from testimonies given at Oregon State Legislature Hearings, we argue that Indigenous Knowledges offer an important resource for educating all …
Indigenous Studies Speaks to American Sociology: The Need for Individual and Social Transformations of Indigenous Education in the USA
Despite legislation to increase educational success for racial and ethnic minorities in the USA, educational disparities persist. I examine this trend among Indigenous peoples in the state of Oregon, but extend it to education systems across the USA. In Oregon, American Indians have the poorest educational attainment of all racial and ethnic groups; only 55% of American Indians graduate on time. I examine this problem from a critical sociological…

Claiming Health and Culture as Human Rights: Yakama Feminism in Daily Practice
In this article, I examine the gendered politics of the Yakama Reservation food economy. Drawing from ethnographic data, I discuss the importance of culture and health as human rights. My analysis reveals that indigenous people's health and well-being deteriorates as traditional cultural practices are undermined within a globalized and neo-colonial context; however, I also find that indigenous women are resisting the social, political and economi…

Drawing on literature of feminist critique and using the concepts of subjectivity and identity work, the author analyzes ways in which "authentic Indianness" and "White privilege" affect the research process. At the heart of the analysis is an important epistemological question: How do pow…
