Dr. Apela Colorado is our featured speaker for our upcoming 2026 Online Symposium:

📅 May 3, 2026
“Reimagining Goddess Scholarship: At the Edges of Sacred Knowledge”

We’re honored to feature Apela Colorado, Ph.D. (Oneida-Gaul), a renowned Indigenous scholar, educator, and cultural bridge-builder whose work centers on restoring Indigenous wisdom and forging ethical relationships between Indigenous and Western knowledge systems.

A Ford Foundation Fellow, Dr. Colorado earned her Ph.D. in Social Policy from Brandeis University, with additional graduate study in Federal Indian Law and Child Welfare at Harvard University. In 1989, she founded the Worldwide Indigenous Science Network (WISN), which supports the revitalization, protection, and global exchange of Indigenous knowledge and practitioners.

Her presentation draws on decades of scholarship and leadership in sacred ecology, ancestral memory, and Indigenous methodologies, as well as her work establishing WISN’s graduate program in Indigenous Science and Peace Studies at the University for Peace (UPEACE) in Costa Rica. Through this lens, she explores how Indigenous knowledge systems offer vital pathways for ethical global dialogue, ecological responsibility, and spiritual relationship with land.

As part of our symposium, Dr. Colorado invites us to reflect on profound questions: How do we honor ancestral wisdom in contemporary scholarship? What responsibilities emerge when knowledge is held as sacred and relational?
