Experiences in a Culturally Responsive Student Affairs: An Indigenization Journey

Abstract

We have heard discussions about indigenization and decolonization in our educational institutions with a lot of work being done on implementing the calls to action from the Truth and Reconciliation Committee. What exactly is indigenization and how do I apply it in my work with students? In this article, we will share some of the small and practical ways we are incorporating the holistic ways of being from indigenous philosophy to our student development/leadership and transition programming.
