Meeting the challenges

The IPG project has received a $2.5 million grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) to formulate models for indigenous governance that combine the best of modern knowledge with ancient traditions. The IPG is Canada’s largest group of researchers in indigenous law and is collaborating with other researchers in the fields of constitutional law, economics, anthropology, philosophy and political science, as well as with numerous indigenous groups in Canada.

Composed of 40 researchers from 21 Canadian universities, the research team is working with nine indigenous associations to propose models for indigenous governance and relations between sovereign peoples. Together, they will be studying the unique features of indigenous governance in a Canadian context.
