Celebrating the Diversity of Indigenous Homes

Discover how Indigenous innovation and technology allows Indigenous communities to survive and thrive now and across the centuries. Our host, Cheyenne Bearfoot, will explore various native and Indigenous identities across the globe in order to unravel stereotypes that have diminished innovations made by Indigenous peoples.

Celebrating the Diversity of Indigenous Homes

Season 1 Episode 3 | 10m 44s | CC

Since the beginning of humanity, Indigenous people have created homes and formed communities; in both the structural, tangible sense of the word, and the warm and fuzzy, emotional sense. Some of those early Indigenous designs continue to serve as inspiration for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous architects as they develop the world’s infrastructure.
