Organizations

The following organizations center the use of braiding knowledge in their mission statements.

Center for Braiding Indigenous Knowledges and Science

The Center for Braiding Indigenous Knowledges and Science (CBIKS) was founded in 2023 with funding by the National Science Foundation’s Science and Technology Centers: Integrative Partnerships program by co-principal investigators: Sonya Atalay, Ora Marek-Martinez, Bonnie Newsom, and Jon Woodruff.[1] The Center is located on the MIT campus with eight regional hubs across the U.S. and in Canada, Aotearoa New Zealand, and Australia.[2] Research is fully community-driven and in full collaboration with community partners at all education levels.
