The International Institute for Indigenous Resource Management is a non-profit corporation established to assist Indian tribes and other indigenous peoples in the sustainable utilization, management, development and conservation of their natural resources and protection of their environment. The Institute, through its staff and associates, brings years of experience and training to bear on the resource management, environmental protection and related human resource development problems of indigenous peoples.
To accomplish its mission, the Institute conducts workshops and conferences on the scientific, legal, ethical, cultural and policy aspects of a wide range of natural resource management, environmental protection and environmental restoration issues. The Institute carries out research on these issues and publishes scholarly journal articles, professional papers and practical guides for indigenous decision-makers. The Institute operates internship and fellowship programs for undergraduate and graduate students. The Institute works directly with Indian tribes and other indigenous peoples to provide technical support to manage resource development and conservation projects; establish legal, regulatory, scientific and technical systems for environmental protection and environmental restoration programs; and develop and implement education and training programs to build or enhance technical and management skills.
