To learn more about the workshops, please visit our website (Re)Cultivating and (Re)Newing Reciprocal Research workshops.

The objective of the 6 Rs workshops is to bring together researchers, educators, professionals, and community members from Tribal Nations, universities, and industry to cultivate and strengthen research relationships that sustain Tribal sovereignty.

By the end of the workshop series, attendees will be able to:

Describe the 6Rs of Indigenous research
Describe theories and practices of Tribal Sovereignty and research sovereignty
Explain how Tribal and institutional (universities, research labs, corporations, NGOs, NPOs, governmental agencies, etc.) systems impact research
Apply the 6 Rs of Indigenized research to revising their institutions’ and their own research practices.

Who can attend? Everyone is welcome! All events are open to participants from any community or institution, including but not limited to: Tribal leadership, research administrators, educators, students, and community practitioners.

What is the cost to register? There is no cost for participating in this workshop series, but participants will need to cover travel costs for in-person workshop days. Scholarships are available for travel. Everyone is welcome to apply for travel funding, but preference will be given for funding graduate students and Native community members.
