Engaging diverse ways of knowing for our shared futures

 

We are building a living resource hub for scholars and community members who are interested in Indigenous science research and education. This page is designed for self-guided learning to connect you with a variety of helpful resources and sources for critical reflection. These resources emphasize community-engaged research that transcends disciplinary boundaries and that is grounded in reciprocity to land and community to support healthy lifeways.

We recognize that everyone comes into this work through different identities and varying relationships to community. Therefore, some resources in the hub may speak directly to you, while others may not. Wherever you are coming from, we hope that you arrive with patient curiosity and humility to guide you in your learning. We consider this work a continuous process of reflection, learning, and at times unlearning and appreciate you stepping into this space, no matter where you are in your process!
