Philosopher, artist, and author
Viola Cordova (October 20, 1937 – November 2, 2002) was a philosopher, artist, author, and member of the Jicarilla Apache tribe. She was one of the first Native American women to earn a PhD in philosophy.[1][2]
Viola Cordova grew up in Taos, New Mexico; her father was a member of the Jicarilla Apache tribe, and her mother was Hispanic.[3] She earned her bachelor's degree from Idaho State University, and her MA and PhD in philosophy from the University of New Mexico.
She served with Anne Waters as co-editor of the American Philosophical Association's Newsletter on American Indians in Philosophy from its inception in 2001 until her death.[4]
In his book, What Has No Place, Remains, Nicholas Shrubsole notes that "Viola Cordova reminds us that the act of listening to understand cannot be premised upon the desire to see a distortion of one’s self."[5]
Cordova died on November 2, 2002.[6] After her death, the University of New Mexico named an annual lecture series in her honor.[7]
