Acknowledgment of Right Relationship and Open Dialogue

A STATEMENT OF THE APA COMMITTEE ON NATIVE AMERICAN AND INDIGENOUS PHILOSOPHERS

Obligation: The American Philosophical Association Committee on Native American and Indigenous Philosophers wishes to underscore that we as philosophers have an obligation to acknowledge and address situations in which the rights of others are, have been, or continue to be disregarded.

Context: The American Philosophical Association owes its existence and success not only to those special founding members, but also to the vitality of generations around the globe whose hopes, dreams and energies have created a constellation of historical relationships in the Americas. Some of these generations have left distant lands for many reasons, some brought against their will, and some having lived here for more generations than can be counted. These latter include the current five hundred sixty-seven (567) federally recognized Indian Nations, and state recognized tribes, and bands, pueblos, communities, and native villages, some stretching across America's northern and southern boundaries.

Committee Specificity: Although we recognize abuses against and debts owed to many groups, especially those for which the APA maintains diversity committees, this statement focuses on disregard for the rights of native and indigenous peoples and perpetration of harms against them, which are on a scale that approaches cultural erasure.

Acknowledgment: The American Philosophical Association acknowledges and pays respect to the indigenous people upon whose ancestral lands this conference is being held. We recognize that the rights of native and indigenous people and nations have been and continue to be denied and violated, and we honor with gratitude the land itself and the people who have stewarded it throughout the generations.

Truth: The APA Committee on Native American and Indigenous Philosophers affirms that building mutual respect across barriers of heritage and difference is often made possible by honoring truth. Honoring America's Indigenous truth means acknowledging that human violence, displacement,

migration and settlement have created legacies of distrust. Yet truth and trust are critical to building mutual respect for our common connections across all barriers of difference. Recognition: The APA Committee on Native American and Indigenous Philosophers emphasizes the importance of acknowledging the often-erased history, overlooked debt, frequently contested and forgotten contributions of traditional indigenous philosophical heritage, and traditional stewardship and stewards of our ancestral lands throughout the past and present. The committee respectfully acknowledges that we exist on a land debt, that this event is taking place on the traditional ancestral lands of Indigenous Native Americans, in the context of the discipline of philosophy's traditional indigenous philosophical heritage, and pays honor to this past and present history, philosophy, and elders.

... NEW SERIES ... BLACK MALE STUDIES ...

This series looks to fill the gaps in the existing masculinities literatures that often assign the peculiar sexual violence and particular lethal oppression racially subjugated men have suffered throughout history to our more generic understanding of racism. Books published in this series would strive to create empirically informed theories of Black men and boys that can motivate our understanding of Black males beyond problem and pathology. Black Male Studies also welcomes innovative comparative and international projects drawing parallels between Black males and the experiences of other racialized males affected by deportation, genocide, poverty, and regional conflict and war.

Prospective authors should contact the series editor TOMMY J. CURRY at t.j.curry@ed.ac.uk to discuss their work in progress for inclusion in the series.
