Finding the Indigenous in Indigenous Studies.
Pierotti, Raymond; Wildcat, Daniel
Indigenous Nations Studies Journal, v1 n1 p61-70 Spr 2000

To wrest indigenous studies programs from the Eurocentric worldview of the typical American university, the natural sciences should be incorporated into what must necessarily be an integrated, interdisciplinary curriculum.
