Indigenous Peoples, Environment, Climate Justice<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Indigenous Environmental Justice (IEJ) project is designed to advance the theory and practice of environmental justice by engaging Indigenous knowledge and laws. IEJ draws on a set of assumptions about the place of humanity in a world we share with other beings. Our long-term goal is to develop a knowledge-sharing framework based on the lived experience of Indigenous peoples and to enable a vision of justice that supports the continuance of life. Over the past 8 years, over 60 student research assistants have contributed to the development of the project website, symposiums, speaker series, research, podcasts, videos, youth initiatives, and social media posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
