Our Projects & Partners
Our projects are conducted through equal, ethical partnerships with Indigenous Nations and organizations.
We work alongside our partners to co-design research agreements and objectives so that our projects are responsive to community needs, interests, laws, and protocols. Good relations are key to doing this work together, but building them takes time. With this, we are committed to creating long-standing, continuous relationships with the Indigenous Peoples we partner with.
