The Misko Aki Knowledge Exchange (MAKE; previously Radical Policy School) is a tuition-free, non-accredited educational program offered through Yellowhead School. This innovative program provides a radically different perspective on the study of policy through a decolonial lens, backed by research, and led by leading practitioners and scholars. MAKE is grounded in theoretical learning and practical application for Indigenous leaders involved in local, community- and land-based initiatives.

The program is rigorous, intentional, sustained, and devoted to transformation and revitalization

2025 Focus

MAKE is an innovative program that explores the many ways academics, artists, and activists make livable worlds informed by Indigenous and decolonial perspectives and research. This year’s theme is inspired by “Making Livable Worlds: Afro-Puerto Rican Women Building Environmental Justice” by Hilda Llorens (2019), as well as the ongoing efforts of Indigenous communities and colleagues dedicated to creating livable spaces.
