We are encouraging 
universities, partners and professionals working with indigenous 
peoples' issues to have an active contact with each other and share 
ideas, project information, research findings and news related to 
indigenous peoples’ housing conditions, urbanization and indigenous 
building methods. For this purpose we have created a LinkedIn group “ 
Urban  Indigenous Issues ”. We  would like to encourage your university 
staff and students to join the discussion group at the following link:
