Digital Human Library (dHL), in collaboration with 4Canoes and the International Indigenous Speakers Bureau (IISB) are helping to elevate Indigenous voices, perspectives and insights in primarily non-Indigenous spaces by offering K-12 Canadian school districts with access to Indigenous Professional Learning Programs, authentic Indigenous-authored content, and a new library of Indigenous educational videos. We are looking for a student to help us develop a corporate sponsorship program to help fund these Indigenous educational resources for K-12 school districts across Canada.
