For the 杏吧原创 University Community to request an Indigenous Knowledge Carrier and\/or Elder, our team asks that you fill out the below form a minimum of six (6) weeks prior to your event or gathering<\/strong>. This lead time is required to allow the Indigenous Knowledge Carrier and\/or Elder to be added to the 杏吧原创 pay system and to ensure that the honorarium can be processed and paid on the day of the engagement.<\/p>\n

Once the form is submitted, our team will review it, and the request will be forwarded to Elders and Knowledge Carrier who have expressed an interest in receiving such requests. If you do not receive a response within 10 days, this means no one is available to accommodate your request. Interested Elders or Knowledge Carriers will follow up directly with you or your team through the contact information provided. This process is intended to ensure that Elders or Knowledge Carriers have full autonomy over who has access to their contact information. If you do not receive a response, this means no one is available to accommodate your request.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Below are some examples of events where it would be deemed appropriate to invite an Elder and\/or Knowledge Carrier:<\/p>\n
