  • Indigenous Research

    Sharing our Wisdom: A Holistic Aboriginal Health Initiative was developed by community to engage Aboriginal participants in learning about traditional healing practices, to facilitate a healthier life for participants, and to work towards the prevention of risk factors for health issues.

  • Medicine Collective

    The Medicine Collective is a a group of Indigenous Elders and Knowledge-Keepers sharing traditional teachings and supporting workshops to reconnect and restore our relationships to lands and peoples that live on Turtle Island.

  • Place-Based Learning

    The UBC Faculty of Land and Food Systems has partnered with the Ustlahn’s Social Society, Squamish First Nation, to offer a Community-Based Experiential Learning field course. In this course, students work with Aboriginal people through a community-centered experience.

  • WELCOME m̓i ce:p kʷətxʷiləm

    The Musqueam people have lived in the present location for thousands of years. Their traditional territory occupies what is now Vancouver and the surrounding areas. The name ‘Musqueam’ relates to the river grass, məθkʷəy̓. The Musqueam people are known as “People of the River Grass”.

  • Indigenous Knowledge

    “Nothing belongs to you of what there is. Of what you take, you must share.” – Chief Dan George

  • The CRUW program

    The Culturally Relevant Urban Wellness (CRUW) seeks to empower Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal youth through strength-based programming grounded in both evidence-based research, and the wisdom and lived experience of Aboriginal elders and traditional knowledge keepers.

We aim to further develop research and education on areas of shared priorities and concern to Indigenous peoples and UBC, particularly on issues related to land and food systems including food security, environmental sustainability, ethical frameworks, cultural resilience, and ways of knowings.

We promote multi-disciplinary and multi-sectorial collaborations to enhance place-based learning and research. The IRP support the development of career opportunities for Indigenous people and communities.

We strive to enhance culturally appropriate research frameworks and the development of local, national and international collaborations. We support knowledge translation, dissemination, and usage to stimulate the creation of innovating and resilient environments.
