The mission of the Center for Wabanaki Research, Knowledge & Innovation is to create a work where Wabanaki people overcome barriers to improve health and wellness in our communities empowered by Wabanaki-led data and research. This work is done by weaving Indigenous knowledge with western sciences to tell the story of Wabanaki people.

Internship Programs

We provide Public Health internships to Indigenous students, and help support and match Wabanaki students to appropriate learning opportunities. We have internship opportunities throughout the school year and over the summer months. Click here to learn more about our internship opportunities.

Community Surveys

We develop, adapt, and apply surveys to our communities from an Indigenous lens. Previously published reports and findings can be found in our Resource Library that will be coming soon. Click here to view our current and upcoming surveys.
