The challenge we have today is the restoration of community in the world in which we live. Community is a tall order given the socioeconomic, ideological, and cultural divides that exist in the world among humankind. Yet, the key to Indigenous ingenuity or Indigenuity is the restoration of not only healthy and respectful relations among our human kin but in extending the sense of community and kinship to the life surrounding us in the ecosystems in which we live. This presentation will argue that we might be standing at the threshold of a reawakening of our relatedness to life around us. Indeed, our hope for mending our broken and divisive human relations can be found in the larger ecosystems in which we live. At its root, Indigenuity is about the re-establishment of eco-cultural communities: communities in which humans learn from their different-than-human relatives how to live as mature humans and respectful kin to the life around us. If respectful exercises of biomimicry and Indigenuity are enacted, hope for resilient and thriving systems of life-enhancement is more than a dream - it is an activity: one desperately needed in this age of the Anthropocene.

About the Museum of Native American History:
The Museum of Native American History (MONAH) was first established in a downtown location in 2006 as the Museum of Native American Artifacts. The collection quickly outgrew the space and MONAH opened its current doors in June of 2008. Founded by David Bogle, a registered member of the Cherokee Nation, born and raised in Bentonville, AR., the museum houses over 10,000 of the finest Native American artifacts. MONAH tells the 14,000-year story of Native American history through to the present with the discovery of artifacts, education, and programming.
