Upcoming Indigenous Futures Lab Projects

This project is driven by the core principles of epistemic and linguistic sovereignty, ensuring that local Indigenous communities have control over their own historical narratives and cultural resources. By forming coalitions around archival access, Piscataway Pathways aims to empower communities to reclaim their linguistic and cultural resources for future generations.

The Indigenizing demographic data project applies principles of Indigenous feminist research and evaluation to an ever-present problem with Indigenous demographic research -- How, and more important, why do we quantify Indigenous demographics?  And how do we do so in a way that reflects how Indigenous communities see themselves, honors data sovereignty, but communicates population needs? 

 "Black & Indigenous Environmental Futures" is a faculty coalition dedicated to exploring Black and Indigenous coalitions around land, reclamation, and futurity. Through interdisciplinary research and collaboration, this coalition aims to address the pressing environmental challenges faced by BIPOC communities, while also illuminating the wisdom and resilience of their traditional ecological knowledge in co-creating sustainability in research and scholarship.
