This is one of a gradual multiple-step learning experience in Indigenous Education.

Project Details: In this project, students will watch 6 Indigenous Education videos, complete corresponding reflection pages for each, and attend respective team meetings. Students will begin to familiarize themselves with the Education team and overall project missions.

Mentorship

Interns at The International Indigenous Speakers Bureau (IISB) will be provided an opportunity to connect and engage with various Indigenous speakers, leaders, and Knowledge carriers from around the world. For non-Indigenous students, this engagement will give the intern a rare opportunity into the worldview and perspectives of Indigenous People and their culture. For Indigenous students, this engagement will give the intern an opportunity to expand upon their own knowledge of other Indigenous communities' perspectives and worldviews, as well as a chance to possibly dive deeper into their own cultural connections.

At IISB, we provide a safe environment and supportive team which interns can turn to, learn from, and discuss their questions and feelings as they go through the Indigenous Awareness Education.
