Native American Philosophy: An Excursion Into the Self
Jump to Connections
27,312 Views • Premiered Apr 16, 2024 • Click to toggle off description
Native American Philosophy is one of the most under-covered areas in philosophy proper. I hope to add a bit of contrast here, and focus on how Native American Philosophy, their "concepts" of self, and how they may relate to Western concepts at large.

It really does change your mind, once you accept and understand this connection with nature, life becomes so much richer. One of the things that really hit me was the native american perception of time, which is so different from the abstract western hour we are so used to. It inspired me so much that i filled my garden with all kinds of plants, most from seed, even tried to recreate the three sisters technique and with varying success and lots of learning, these plants have showed me a new kind of time, a time that is much fuller than the abstract time, a time that slides slowly as the seed hatches, grow a stalk and leaves and eventually gives fruit. It just re enchants life in a way that no commodity could ever do and you really do nothing "special", only help something grow and care for it, which is all we ever really needed to do

Once westerners "religious" people open a damn Meister Eckart or Saint John of the Cross, or even William Law book, and read about apophatic mysticism, they'll realize how close they are, in their beliefs, to the natives colonial propaganda framed as primitive godless people for decades. People say that you realize how different we are through travels. I, as a Spinoza enjoyer, argue the opposite: it's always the same belief, the same frame of experience, getting distorted by petty greed, anger and grievances. Read a buddhist book, read a stoics book, and then listen to how native people speak about their cosmology. It's the same. Always has been. Alienation is making us blind to our common human condition.

I happen to be a Philosophy Major, and I just finished an essay I wrote for a friend that was inspired by this video, and I made sure to mention this channel! I'm part Native American (Cherokee to be exact), and my friend is part Native as well. So, I got my Cherokee citizenship, but I didn't know whether to claim it at first because I'm more Caucasian than anything and I wanted to maintain respect. But the World Cultures Anthropology class I'm in led me to this video, and THAT led me to making some awesome connections, and now I've written perhaps the most cohesive work longer than 8 pages that I've ever produced! I actually think my connection to the Cherokee Nation may be done justice! So, you have my thanks. I can't tell you how much I appreciate this video!

At the beginning you said we "fail to ignore" this- which is a good thing. They are still here and they should be. I appreciate you posting about them. My child is a descendent too. <3

As time passes I become more intrigued by non western forms of philosophy like those from America and Africa. Thanks for talking about this subject!

I think you did a good job here, speaking as a Native person. Oh and Iroquois is pronounced Yuro-kwoy, but it's term that came from the French trying to pronounce a not so flattering name our neighbors called us. So don't fret over the misprounciation. And yeah IMO, Cordova's book is pretty good. I have critiques, but they're minor things.

It's cool to see this topic broached. I'm sure you're aware of how extensive it gets. Some primary sources I would recommend are Brian Burkhart's Indigenizing Philosophy through the Land, and three works by Vine Deloria Jr. - Evolution, Creationism, and Other Modern Myths; God is Red: A Native View of Religion; and The Metaphysics of Modern Existence. Secondary sources that are good are Eduardo Viveiros de Castro's Cannibal Metaphysics; Keith Basso's Wisdom Sits in Places; Carlo Severi's The Chimera Principle; Timothy Pauketat's An Archaeology of the Cosmos; and then some early ethnographic works like James Mooney's Myths of the Cherokee or stuff from John Swanton

Oh wow philosophy youtube doesnt pay nearly enough attention to the many philsophies present in indigenous cultures of the americas. From political to metaphysical to epistemology and more its pretty cool stuff once you learn to look past what appears as just superstitions or just spiritual dogma.

We need to understand that acceptance of limitations does not mean you shouldn't strive to achieve something greater.

Great video! I had never really thought of Native American philosophy as an independent subject, but i am very interested in the theory of "self" as described here. Thank you for bringing attention to this! I hope to see you do more informational content like this and I would love to see videos on other indigenous american philosphies from regions like mezo and south america.

5:50 - This is something that I don't think enough people grasp. I've had people tell say to me "Well we're ALL indigenous to somewhere" like yeah you're right but what the hell does that mean to you? How does being indigenous affect your life and your perspective? I also really like what you said about indigenous knowledge being existing alongside something, rather than subjugation and domination. Awesome video

This reminds me of the new book by Klee Bennally called Indigenous Anarchy. Have you come across this @Epoch? Also, the anthropologists David Graeber and David Wengrow writes about the influence native american thought had on european philosophers in the 17th century, when journals of colonists were brought back to Europe of the encounters they had. Very interesting.
