The Indigenous Knowledge Fellowship is an annual program funded by Luce and administered by First Nations that supports up to 10 knowledge leaders who utilize different modes of expression in communicating their knowledge and skills to produce their work. The fellowship supports and convenes knowledge holders and knowledge makers who embody exceptional creativity and critical thinking.

We encourage individuals to apply who have the potential to significantly move their respective fields in ways that will ultimately lead to broad, transformative impacts for Native communities and beyond.
