About

Creating New Speakers And Teachers

The Institute of Native Knowledge was established in 1989 to provide insights into aspects of native knowledge and especially the World Renewal philosophy of northwestern California. Contemporary native art, storytelling, and convening cultural gatherings were important Institute activities. Today, 36 years later, our mission remains the same, while our methods have changed immensely.
