Relationality in Native American Knowledge Organization

Cheryl Metoyer
Associate Professor & Associate Dean for Research, University of Washington Information School

Presentation Description: Native American knowledge systems reflect a worldview that is cohesive, complex and highly sophisticated. The conceptual foundations of these cultural systems enable recording, storing and classifying information in ways that reflect Native American values and have the potential for bridging Native American knowledge systems with mainstream knowledge organization research.
