The Indigenous Health Research Summit took place in Kahnawà:ke from September 10-12, 2025, celebrating 30 years of research by KSDPP and a space for knowledge sharing between Indigenous communities on wise-practices, tools and methods in community-led research, ethics and data governance.

Day 1 was a showcase of KSDPP research with other Kahnawà:ke researchers (KEPO, KSCS, KEC, Step-by-Step, Skátne Ionkwaweientehta'onhatie) to share their work. This day was for the community to celebrate! 

Day 2 was a space for knowledge sharing on Indigenous self-determination in research. With a focus on Indigenous community-led research experiences, ethics, data governance and cultural safety, Indigenous researchers, partners organizations, collaborating allies, students, and community members from across Quebec and nearby territories shared their tools, methods, promising practices and research successes.

Day 3 featured panels, roundtables and presentations on research through the arts, self-determination in youth research with youth leaders, and made space for emerging Indigenous health research. This gave new appreciation for new methods, tools and ways of expressing Indigenous health research.

The Knights of Columbus was open to the public on all 3 days and there were many exhibits, activities, live research, health monitoring, food tasting, and more!
