The Indigenous Peoples and Environmental (In)Justice project is composed of a variety of research activities that aim to better understand and share how Indigenous knowledge of the natural environment can help Indigenous communities to develop a distinctive environmental justice framework informed by Indigenous knowledge systems, laws, concepts of justice, and the lived experiences of Indigenous peoples. The Indigenous Peoples and Environmental (In)Justice project engage with youth, Elders, and other knowledge-holders to investigate ethically and collaboratively what a self-determined future looks like for Indigenous communities and peoples. They have two major research projects, being them The Indigenous Climate Change Futures (2021-2015) and The Indigenous Environmental Justice Project (2016-2021).

The Indigenous-led project respects the traditions and political arrangements of each community that they partner with, providing them with ownership of any data collected and produced by the project.

Through the educational programs and the offer of resources for educators, youth, and policy makers, The Indigenous Peoples and Environmental (In)Justice project promotes capacity building and community engagement on environmental topics.

Documentation produced in community consultations and reviews.

Interviews with community members.

Reports on human and environmental health.

Academic publications on environmental health, environmental justice, and related fields.

The studies undertaken by the project’s researchers and collaborators are gathered and made available at their website. They also regularly share findings on social media (Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter) in accessible language and formats. On top of written publications and resources, the Indigenous Peoples and Environmental (In)Justice project also offer outreach events, podcasts, and videos covering their work on environmental justice.
