The creation and maintenance of a research network is a collaborative process between universities, agencies and communities. People are keen to keep the conversation going, expand the circle and continue to work collaboratively. Ultimately, our vision is to establish a Research Institute in the province of British Columbia to ensure our children and families are nurtured with stories, traditional teachings and practices relevant to our diverse territories, languages and teachings. Research agendas include methods and analysis relevant to our diverse Indigenous traditional teachings, communities, and agencies. Ultimately, our goal is to re-claim re-search to provide our communities a space to re-story child rearing practices and re-generate traditional teachings for the next seven generations.
