Cultural Memory, Resistance, and Identity: Arts and Humanities in Tribal College Settings
2025
Overview
The arts and humanities- understood as the study of human society and culture that asks fundamental questions about the human condition-are inextricably linked to the essential questions posed by Navajo processes of seeking knowledge about the world. THE HUMANITIES IN TRIBAL COLLEGES Yet it is no secret that within American colleges and universities over the past four decades, the humanities have been in dramatic decline, including at tribal colleges. [...]the availability of grant funding, upon which the college heavily relies, is significantly greater in the STEM disciplines through such initiatives as the National Science Foundation's Tribal Colleges and Universities Program (TCUP). For the Navajo, these learning processes provide ways of interpreting and attributing meaning to that which surrounds us-a conviction strongly represented in Diné College's underlying educational commitment: [...]Sa'ah Naaghai Bik'eh Hozhoon reflects the living, natural order of things, including the interaction between the Earth and other celestial bodies (Willeto, 1997).
