Rediscovering Wisdom: Tongan Philosophy and Cosmology with Tēvita Ka'ili
Description
We are joined by Professor Tēvita O. Ka‘i, a prominent Tongan anthropologist and scholar whose work focuses on Indigenous Tongan knowledge, cultural anthropology, and Pacific studies. As an expert in Tongan cosmology and philosophy, Kaʻili has contributed significantly to the understanding and revitalization of traditional Tongan ways of knowing and being. He emphasizes how Indigenous knowledge systems can be applied to contemporary issues, particularly in areas like environmental stewardship, community-building, and global Indigenous movements.
