OSU Native American
Philosophies Class Open to Public
Oregon State University is offering a special course called Native American
Philosophies that includes a series of lectures, plays, readings, and musical
performances that are free and open to the public.
The course is coordinated by OSU faculty members Kurt Peters, Department
of Ethnic Studies, and Kathleen Dean Moore, Department of Philosophy. It is
supported by a gift from the Spirit Mountain Community Fund.
On Tuesdays in November and December, the course will bring to campus
Native American philosophers, storytellers, scholars, authors, or musicians who
will share their ideas, culture, stories, and scholarship with students - and the
public, who is invited free of charge. The presentations begin at 6:30 p.m. in
Gilfillan Auditorium.
“It is an opportunity for students to think more deeply about their place on
Earth and their relation to the natural world, their sources of strength and wisdom,
the nature of time and place and spirit, and the right ways of acting in communities,”
Moore said.
This is the second year OSU has offered this course. The inaugural effort last
year was a huge success with students as well as the public, Peters said.
“Many of the speakers are extremely well-known in the Native American
community and beyond,” he said. “They offer some fascinating and unique
perspectives, which many of the students had never encountered. Opening up the
presentations to the public seems like the right thing to do.”
Native American presenters include:

of Native American Studies at the University of California at Davis. He’s the
