Ărramăt’s Global Transformation Pathways: Co-leads

Our Ărramăt Co-leads provide leadership and create spaces through the Global Transformational Pathways to bring researchers together to support each other and amplify research results.  They do this by Mâmawi-atoskîwin – all working together. 

Our Co-leads:

  • Facilitate networking between Indigenous organizations, governments and other partners;
  • Support the development of methodological toolboxes, webinars, and resoureces for the Indigenous-led place-based projects (ILPBPs);
  • Collaborative synthesize research with Indigenous governments and organizations in ways that can inform policy and institutional change.
