Dr. Edward Doolittle: Indigenous Mathematics

To develop Indigenous Mathematics as a coherent subject distinct from mathematics, ethnomathematics, and Indigenous studies, we must consider the discipline’s foundations. As with global mathematics, Indigenous mathematics is founded in logic, philosophy, and culture, but differs in detail. Indigenous logic allows for the coexistence of contradictory statements: Indigenous philosophy is grounded in creation and the land; Indigenous culture is inextricably bound with spirituality, ceremony, and oral tradition. Efforts to “Indigenize” mathematics will fail without taking these differences into account.
