Sovereign Innovations

Celebrating the Diversity of Indigenous Homes

Since the beginning of humanity, Indigenous people have created homes and formed communities; in both the structural, tangible sense of the word, and the warm and fuzzy, emotional sense. Some of those early Indigenous designs continue to serve as inspiration for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous architects as they develop the world’s infrastructure.
