Indigenous organization Rematriation announces symposium on

Call for Proposals

We invite proposals for the upcoming Symposium, which will take place on February 28, 2025 – March 2, 2025, at Syracuse University on Onondaga Lands in the heart of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. The Symposium seeks to bring together scholars, practitioners, and students to share Indigenous values as a praxis to address critical global social and environmental issues. We welcome submissions from a wide range of disciplines and perspectives. This is an Indigenous conference, and we welcome traditional knowledge.

Relevant fields include Indigenous Studies, legal studies (especially as they pertain to the Doctrine of Discovery and land issues), women’s studies, anthropology, archaeology, ecology, biology, environmental studies, climate studies, health, medicine, engineering (particularly as related to addressing climate change), political and governmental studies, religion, philosophy, spirituality, art, music, theater, and dance.

Indigenous ways of life have shaped our peoples. They are woven into our daily lives and guide us to this day. 

Proposals from all disciplines are encouraged. Indigenous, non-Indigenous, all genders, and non-gendered peoples are all invited and encouraged to submit proposals, attend, and participate.
