Digital Human Library (dHL) the International Indigenous Speakers Bureau (IISB) have come together to help elevate Indigenous voices, perspectives and insights in primarily non-Indigenous spaces by offering educational institutions access to IISB Knowledge Nuggets*.

Digital Human Library is looking for students in every province and territory who would like to contribute to reconciliation and learn more about Indigenous ways of knowing, doing and being by connecting IISB Knowledge Nuggets (KN) to a Global Curriculum, the Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs), and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) Calls to Action.

Indigenous and non-Indigenous students are encouraged to apply.

The project will remain open for 1 year with flexible start dates available between January 1 2024 - December 2024.
