Africa Indigenous Knowledge Research Network.

This network researches, re-centers, and harnesses African indigenous knowledge through collaboration with custodians like elders, traditional leaders, and youth. It aims to restore authenticity and counter the historical silencing of African wisdom.

The Network connects African indigenous knowledge with technology and global ideas through an interdisciplinary approach. We foster cross-cultural learning on reconciliation and decolonization, linking initiatives in Canada with decolonization efforts in Africa.

The Network will work with various community groups to re-center the authenticity of African epistemology on various issues such as traditional governance, food security, ecosystem, biodiversity, agriculture, arts, folklores, technology, climate change, human and animal health, animal reproduction, natural resource management, conservation and environmental protection. Through international collaboration on issues and challenges important to Indigenous communities globally, we aim to strengthen institutional capacities related to Indigenous-led research, community engagement, and intercultural communication, understanding, and cooperation.
