EducacionIndigena.org, a website created in conjunction with Fundación Equitas (Santiago, Chile) designed to: first, survey Chile's Indigenous populations to locate experiences of self-determination in the area of education; and second, create a database of information for public consumption on the topic of Indigenous self-determination in education.
