Indigenous Foundations is an information resource website on key topics relating to the histories, politics, and cultures of the Aboriginal peoples of Canada, and includes information about Indigenous struggles globally. It was developed to support students, instructors, researchers, and the broader public with a place to begin exploring topics that relate to Aboriginal peoples.
