Abstract

There is an uproar about indigenous knowledge in academia. Wisdom heretofore denied outsiders now speaks to the urgency of our time. What is academia’s response to students who reach out in earnest? Colonialism in Latin America began before the Third Council of Lima (1582-3). To cease being colonial is to liberate ourselves, and our students. To enhance the higher education experience of students as future global leaders of a sustainable world, we must de-colonize our own thinking, enter the dialectic with indigenous communities, and together continue to transform higher education.
