This page primarily aims to support faculty in enhancing Indigenization efforts in their classrooms and beyond. Staff and administration at Alexander College are also welcome to use these resources.
Indigenization is the process of showing respect and acknowledgement that First Nations and Indigenous peoples are the original people of Canada. It is a recognition within institutions in Canada to engage in reconciliation work and create an opening for Indigenous peoples’ tellings and stories, and an awareness of Indigenous peoples’ experiences, learning and voice. Indigenization is an emphasis on respectfulness toward First Nation’s cultures, languages, lands, traditions and healing as well as a commitment to be supportive of the above in the spirit of reconciliation.
