Our services and work capture many of the unique stories that make up our past, inform our present, and inspire the future. The services listed here are designed to benefit Indigenous Peoples and communities by acknowledging: the vitality of oral history, the authority of Traditional Knowledge, the power of cultural resources, the importance of self-government, and the contextualization of colonial sources.
Why Know
Indigenous History?
We believe that consulting and partnering with Indigenous Peoples is the only appropriate first step to decolonizing history.
