About IIK
IIK’s research and educational initiatives include topics of particular interest to contemporary Indigenous nations and people and that reflect the commitments of our IU Bloomington faculty. This includes Indigenous philosophy and thought, language and culture, history, health and wellbeing, environmental sustainability and justice, food security and sovereignty, housing, community and economic development, land rights, legal justice, social justice, and education.
As an organizational structure for coordinating research and educational activities, IIK is expanding opportunities for Indigenous communities and individuals to benefit from resources at Indiana University. It is preparing the next generation of scholars of Indigenous knowledge through education and mentorship. IIK also connects those at IU Bloomington who are interested in Indigenous knowledge with the global community of people who are similarly committed to promoting Indigenous knowledge. We thus aim to contribute to a mutually supportive community designed to bring about lasting good for Indigenous peoples.
Your gift to this fund provides broad, flexible support for the institute, advancing its vital scholarly and educational mission. Thank you for your generous support!
