Mentorship

The International Indigenous Speakers Bureau (IISB) will provide an opportunity to connect and engage with material from various Indigenous speakers, leaders, and Knowledge carriers from around the world; in areas such as history, Two-Spirit, environmentalism, health care, Indigenous Data Sovereignty, etc...

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 provide an opportunity to expand upon their own knowledge and understanding 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 and supportive environment where interns can learn, discuss, and unpack their questions and feelings as they go through Indigenous education.
