In November 2026, the Indigenous Wellness Research Institute (IWRI) will host the International Network of Indigenous Health, Wellness & Development (INIHKD), an annual, week-long conference convening Indigenous scholars, researchers, practitioners, creatives and community leaders from around the world. This year, INIHKD will focus on three interconnected sub‑themes: Indigenous Health and Healing; Environmental and Ecological Systems; and Advanced Technologies and AI.
