Indigenous spiritualities are examples of subjugated knowledge. See for example Lawlor [3]
Foucault elaborates on methods by which knowledge is subjugated, and also methods of criticism that can excavate these knowledges. For an excellent introduction to Foucault, see "A Foucault Primer: Discourse, power, and the subject."[4]
