When we think about how research is typically conducted, the image of an academic or scientist sitting at a desk or laboratory is likely to spring to mind.

But Maamwizing Indigenous Research Institute at Laurentian University is challenging this idea and bringing research into the hands of community.

The institute was recently awarded more than $400,000 in funding to support the unique approach to research through the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC).
