This research project provides a voice and leadership opportunity for Indigenous students with autism through participatory action research to inform and ask how B.C. post-secondary teaching and learning practices and policy can better integrate Indigenous knowledge in education and arts programming and disrupt patterns of social injustice, exclusion, and cultural genocide while promoting positive identity formation, pride, and resilience for Indigenous persons with autism. We invite you to listen to the oral recording of our final report, Thrivival: The Fire Within.
