Across Canada, academic institutions have been moving toward Indigenizing their campuses and curricula, often through the lens of equity, diversity, and inclusion. While increasing the presence of Indigenous peoples, histories, and knowledges in the academy is positive, we argue that individual Indigenous nations are lost within the umbrella term “Indigenous.” In this chapter, we provide an example of nation-specific organizing through the presentation of two Métis-specific academic gatherings and discuss the impact that these gatherings had on their attendees.

摘要

Across Canada, academic institutions have been moving toward Indigenizing their campuses and curricula, often through the lens of equity, diversity, and inclusion. While increasing the presence of Indigenous peoples, histories, and knowledges in the academy is positive, we argue that individual Indigenous nations are lost within the umbrella term “Indigenous.” In this chapter, we provide an example of nation-specific organizing through the presentation of two Métis-specific academic gatherings and discuss the impact that these gatherings had on their attendees.
