Dr. Stephany RunningHawk Johnson to discuss Indigenous Knowledge and RI

October 2nd, 2024

Stephany will be joining us on the panel for our first plenary session on Indigenous Knowledge.

Dr. Stephany RunningHawk Johnson (Oglala Lakota) is the Executive Director of Local Contexts. She collaborates with Indigenous communities, bringing skills and knowledge of decolonizing and Indigenizing work. Stephany translates for institutions how and why protecting Indigenous data sovereignty is crucial, giving them ways to meet their obligations through the Local Contexts’ Labels and Notices. 

We are keen to draw on her wealth of experiences and insights in discussing the integration of research with Indigenous knowledge.
