The Luce Indigenous Knowledge Fellowship is an annual program that supports Indigenous knowledge leaders who utilize various modes of expression in communicating their knowledge and skills to produce their work.

Luce Indigenous Knowledge Fellowship | First Nations Development Institute Luce Indigenous Knowledge Fellowship Native Arts, Language, and Knowledge Under a grant from the Henry Luce Foundation , the Luce Indigenous Knowledge Fellowship promotes intellectual leadership in Native American communities by supporting outstanding Native Americans who hail from a wide variety of fields and who utilize different modes of expression in communicating their knowledge and work.

The goal of the fellowship is to identify, support and convene Native American knowledge holders and knowledge makers who embody exceptional creativity and progressive and critical thinking, and who have the potential to significantly move forward their fields in ways that will ultimately lead to broad, transformative impacts for Native communities and beyond.

Core to this program is supporting Native individuals who are engaged in the creation and dissemination of knowledge that advances their respective field or area of expertise. For this fellowship, Native intellectual leadership is defined broadly and includes cultural leaders, media makers, scientists, health professionals, academics, curators, artists, writers, and policy makers, among others.

The work of these leaders takes many forms, including journalism, visual art, film and video, speeches or sermons, educational curricula, music or theater, formal scholarship or research, public health strategies, legal arguments, fiction, and policy analysis. The fellowship program launched in 2019, and the first cohort was awarded in 2020.
