'Stories from the Circle: Science and Native Wisdom,' a Workshop with Extensive Dissemination Materials, to be held May 13-18, 2002

一个名为“来自圆圈的故事：科学与本土智慧”的研讨会将于2002年5月13日至18日在亚利桑那州钦勒附近的Dine学院的Tsaile校园举行。这是土著科学家、学者和长老与西方科学家和学者的第一次重大聚会，将在土著世界观而不是西方世界观内计划、组织和开展。 通过电影、书籍、博物馆展览和课程材料进行广泛传播是该项目的一个组成部分。这些传播手段将使讲习班的目标得到广泛宣传。研讨会的目的是从土著文化的角度对科学发表声明，并向主流文化展示另一种看待世界的方式，这有助于解决我们都面临的一些严重问题。来自许多国家的土著学者和科学家小组正在与选定的非土著学者和科学家合作，计划举办讲习班和分发材料。

ABSTRACT"Stories from the Circle: Science and Native Wisdom," A Workshop with Extensive Dissemination MaterialsA workshop entitled "Stories from the Circle: Science and Native Wisdom," will be held at the Tsaile campus of Dine College, near Chinle, Arizona on May 13-18 of 2002. This is the first major gathering of Native scientists, scholars, and elders with Western scientists and scholars that is to be planned, organized, and carried out within Native, rather than Western, worldview. Extensive dissemination through a film, books, a museum exhibition, and curriculum materials is an integral part of this project. These means of dissemination will allow the workshop's objectives to be widely communicated. The objectives of the workshop are to make a statement about science from a Native cultural perspective and to show the dominant culture another way of looking at the world that can help solve some serious problems we all face. The workshop and dissemination materials are being planned by teams of Native scholars and scientists from many nations, in collaboration with selected non-Native scholars and scientists.
