Kishaadigeh Collaborative Research Centre

The Kishaadigeh Collaborative Research Centre and project aims to up-skill research capacity and infrastructure for Indigenous communities and organization undertaking health research.

The Centre focuses on promoting Indigenous self-determination in research through the development of community-based research lodges in partnership with five Manitoba Indigenous organizations. Those organizations include the First Nations Health and Social Secretariat of Manitoba (FNHSSM), the Manitoba Association of Friendship Centres (MAC), the Manitoba Inuit Association (MIA), Aboriginal Health and Wellness Centre of Winnipeg, Inc., and Zoongizi Ode Inc.

The Centre is a collaborative space designed, driven, and governed according to Indigenous methodologies. It supports transdisciplinary and creative research by providing dynamic and engaging space for workshops, intergenerational gatherings, dialogues, and work.

This area contains individual workspaces for tablets or laptops, a family space for babies, mothers, parents, and children. The space can host events and gatherings from all disciplines.
