PURPOSE OF THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES SPECIALTY GROUP:

To foster pure and applied geographic research and geographic education that involves the indigenous peoples of the world, past and present. To encourage approaches to research and teaching that empower indigenous peoples, and to help build relationships of mutual trust between communities of indigenous peoples and academic geographers.

See also the Indigenous Issues Study Group of the Institute of Australian Geographers. "The Indigenous Study group is designed to provide a forum for geography students, academics and practitioners who work with Indigenous people and related issues. The study group is fairly new and is developing ways to encourage dialogue about the many methodological, ethical, and research issues that arise from working with Indigenous communities."
