Abstract
Indigenous umbrella scholarship speaks about Indigenous Peoples, knowledges, and cultures as a monolith instead of recognizing the specific Indigenous nations from which these peoples, knowledges, and cultures come. Indigenous umbrella scholarship was long a necessity due to the scarcity of nation-specific scholarship. In recent years, Indigenous scholars have made strides in the academy to legitimize our communities’ knowledges and practices.
