Using storytelling from his experiences with the Western Apache, Keith Basso elaborates the notion that "wisdom sits in places," that is, the way in which social and cultural knowledge and guidance--wisdom--is based on experience. Because experience occurs in places, landscapes (and their stories and place names) can come to encode social and cultural knowledge. This notion of geography as philosophy would not have been foreign to the ancient Greeks to whom the discipline is often traced, but geography today, with some notable exceptions, is only slowly returning to the quest for wisdom. As an academic discipline, geography must struggle against the limitations of the larger (post)modern episteme within which it is situated. A genuine engagement with Indigenous geography may open a pathway out of this fix. In this article, the author considers Indigenous geography, its challenges and its offerings. His starting point is values in the world, and because "rationality" is fraught, his focus is wisdom. To elaborate the role of wisdom in Indigenous geographies, the author draws on two projects he has been involved in since 1999 aimed at representing Indigenous geographies for Native and non-Native audiences. Both are Internet based for maximum distribution and are intended as educational at the same time that they serve cultural preservation. In 1999 he helped design and develop the pilot project for "Indigenous Geography" (or, "Geografia Indigena") at the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI). He was involved with that project for less than a year before moving on to design and produce a similar, independent project for Hawai'i and the Pacific Islands called "Pacific Worlds." Across these two projects, he has produced eight representations of Indigenous geographies for different communities and has developed curricula and hosted a dozen teacher workshops on this topic. The author uses the lessons he has learned from these projects--"Pacific Worlds" in particular--as the vehicle for elaborating the importance of Indigenous geography.
