The journey to Indigenize curriculum fosters self-development. Whether you are an Indigenous or non-Indigenous person, through this journey you will gain insight into your own culture and background, privileges, or oppressions that have affected your life, and you will identify biases or gaps in your knowledge. You will question the pervasive dominance of Western epistemologies, pedagogies, and resources within curriculum, and make space for including Indigenous ways of being that can benefit all learners. You will engage in the emotional work of confronting the trauma of colonization and building stronger relationships with Indigenous people and communities, and actively participate in the hands-on work of revising your curriculum and pedagogical approaches. And finally, you will reflect upon your own agency in regards to Indigenization, and take action toward systemic change in your institution.

Indigenization is a personal journey that begins with looking inward and seeking opportunities to learn. And, like most Indigenous journeys, it involves sacrifice and ceremony. Each stage of this journey will provide a different perspective, intended to give you the time and space to reflect and prepare yourself to act in accordance with your new learning. A number of post-secondary leaders who continue to inspire change and lead by example have influenced the development of this guide. The guide therefore includes qualitative research that draws on specific interviews with Indigenous people and post-secondary leaders.

This multi-media and open access course tells the story of Canada through the twin lenses of race and migration with tactical inclusions of indigeneity. We uncover buried histories, restore neglected and silenced voices, and map alternate geographies of nation. The modules consider immigration and citizenship laws, mobility and settlement, the experience of migrants in Canada (including temporary labourers), and struggles over recognition, memory, rights, and belonging. We trace the progress of “white civility,” the trajectories of hostility, acceptance, and assimilation, the impact of multiculturalism, the failures of humanitarian sentiment, the violations of the rights of Indigenous and racialized peoples and their struggle against and resistance to the power of the nation-state. We capture both the myth and reality of Canada in recording its past, living its present, and imagining its future.
