Description
The Society of Indigenous Physicists (SIP) was founded in 2020 as a collective of mutual support, where we are connected by our dual identities as Indigenous and physicists. SIP’s mission is to support Indigenous physicists through an organization that uses culturally relevant community practices so that we can find belonging, grow, and offer our unique contributions. In this talk, I will share our origin story and ways in which SIP supports Indigenous astronomers in the form of a counter-space, representation, mentorship, awards, and financial support.
