Our Research

RISE teams conduct rigorous multidisciplinary humanist research that centers Indigenous Peoples’ voices and experiences. This work challenges the status quo of mainstream misrepresentations and omissions of Indigenous People in order to promote positive and equitable outcomes for Indigenous People throughout society. We utilize participatory research-action partnerships to ensure that our work reflects the needs and perspectives of Indigenous communities locally, nationally, and globally. We also provide funding for researchers inside and outside of the academy to conduct research that advances Indigenous equity.
