For sure, they can make an excellent contribution. I know that Margaret Kovach, who is a leading scholar in Canada, has mentioned that for indigenous knowledge to really live, it needs to exist in several different parts, and it needs to be uplifted. As a university, it can help fund indigenous researchers. They can uplift indigenous knowledge-holders and say that these are the experts in these knowledge systems.
