I’ve mentioned before that at the University of Auckland—New Zealand’s most prestigious university—every student has to take a mandatory course related to indigenous knowledge, a course ostensibly related to their their field of study. In reality, these courses are exercises in propaganda, created to indoctrinate students into sacralizing indigenous “ways of knowing”. As an example, I gave this course, which is required for all science majors. Click to access the course description, which I went through a while back (see the link above).
