Defining Decolonizing and Indigenizing

This section of the website will provide you with resources to assist in decolonizing, indigenizing and incorporating Indigenous pedagogies into your work.

Definitions:

Decolonization

There are various definitions and ideas of what decolonization can mean for Indigenous peoples, so it is perhaps useful to situate our sense of what decolonization is in the context of Queen’s specifically. It can be seen as a restoration of Indigenous practices, languages and connection to ways of being. It can be giving voice to what happened and is still happening that reinforce colonial power, such as speaking about Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW), the child welfare system, prison system and residential schools, and many other events that have happened and continue to happen to this day.

Deconstructing and reflecting on the impacts of colonization help both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people begin to understand where we came from and where we are going. Beyond reflecting is understanding that Indigenous knowledge, culture and traditions are based in wisdom, truth and science.

At Queen’s, decolonization can mean many different things such as building capacity in strategic areas to support Indigenous programming, recognizing and supporting Indigenous scholarship and traditional knowledge, integrating Indigenous knowledge into curricula across academic programs, developing training and guidelines for Indigenous research and work with Indigenous communities, continuing to build the capacity of the Office of Indigenous Initiatives and other meaningful inclusion of Indigenous voices in policy and decision making at senior administration levels, and more. This means continuous engagement and integration of the Truth and Reconciliation Commissions’ Calls to Action, and Queen’s own report entitled Yakwanastahentéha Aankenjigemi Extending the Rafters: Truth and Reconciliation Commission Task Force Final Report.

Indigenization

If we think about decolonization as the un-doing or unsettling of colonial power and structures and ways of learning and teaching, then Indigenization can be seen as the re-doing or reaffirming of education to include Indigenous ways of knowing, thinking, feeling and being. It involves elevating the voices of Indigenous peoples, elevating traditional, and cultural knowledge, and intentional inclusion of Indigenous ways of teaching and learning to form and create pedagogical approaches.

Gaudry, A., & Lorenz, D. (2018) assert that there are three distinct uses of the term “indigenization” across post-secondary institutes in Canada. “We define these three concepts as follows, Indigenous inclusion is a policy that aims to increase the number of Indigenous students, faculty, and staff in the Canadian academy. Consequently, it does so largely by supporting the adaption of Indigenous people to the current (often alienating) culture of the Canadian academy. Reconciliation indigenization is a vision that locates indigenization on common ground between Indigenous and Canadian ideals, creating a new, broader consensus on debates such as what counts as knowledge, how should Indigenous knowledge and European-derived knowledge be reconciled, and what types of relationships academic institutions should have with Indigenous communities.

Decolonial indigenization envisions the wholesale overhaul of the academy to fundamentally reorient knowledge production based on balancing power relations between Indigenous peoples and Canadians, transforming the academy into something dynamic and new.” Queen’s has begun the process of indigenizing at the level of the first two definitions, but of course, there is always more work to be done. Indigenization like decolonization and reconciliation is an ongoing process with no end or completion date. For further reading about what indigenization looks and feels like in the Canadian context see:

Gaudry, A., & Lorenz, D. (2018). Indigenization as inclusion, reconciliation, and decolonization: navigating the different visions for indigenizing the Canadian Academy. , 14(3), 218–227.

Indigeneity

The term Indigeneity has emerged to describe the state of being Indigenous, or related to Indigenous-ness. As Indigenous Peoples, we recognize our Indigeneity, our Indigenous-ness, our identity. Indigenous-ness for many can relate to your territory, culture, community and traditions.

Indigenous Pedagogies

At the core of Indigenous pedagogies is care for the spirit of the individual in order to promote a safe learning environment. Indigenous pedagogies focus on the wholistic development of the learner, creating safe learning environments where all learners can connect and learn in an approach that emphasizes self-in-relation, meaning that learning is done in connection to oneself, to others, and to the community or environment. Many Indigenous pedagogies promote the care and support of the learner in an emotional, spiritual, physical and mental context, promoting the strength in striving for balance in these areas.

In his critical work Pedagogy of the Oppressed, Paulo Freire highlighted the place of education in promoting and maintaining colonial power. He was one of the first non-Indigenous scholars to identify the strengths of Indigenous pedagogy as an experiential, holistic and humanistic learning model.

Usage of the terms Indigenization and Indigeneity

The usage of Indigenization and Indigeneity will differ by intent and context. To arrive at a common understanding, the Office of Indigenous Initiatives has provided definitions of both words and their sample usage are provided below.

Indigenization

Indigenization is a process and the action that focusses on incorporating Indigenous knowledges into approaches in recognition of the value and importance of including in the university system. Eg. Education, curriculum, student safety, etc.

Indigenization is an action word, and towards this, Queens is ensuring that Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Indigenization are incorporated into plans across the university.

Indigeneity (noun)

As Indigenous Peoples, we recognize our Indigeneity, our Indigenous-ness, our identity. The community’s indigeneity was clear. The focus is Indigenous Peoples only.

Note: "Indigeneity" has been used to represent aspects of the Indigenous.

Example: We struggled to incorporate “Indigeneity”[indigenous-ness) into the curriculum as we lacked Indigenous representation.

This usage is technically not wrong, however:

The term “Indigeneity” has come to represent a sense of commonality amongst “Indigenous Peoples” globally in contrast to other groups. It also draws attention to inhumane, colonizing, and oppressive treatment that nation states and the international community has perpetrated on Indigenous populations.

“Indigeneity is woven through diverse experiences and histories and is often described as a pan-political identity in a postcolonial time. However, that can be misleading, as the world does not yet exist in a postcolonial state, despite ongoing concerted efforts by Indigenous people and their allies in political and academic spheres to decolonize institutions and communities. Diverse Indigenous communities weave Indigeneity through a multifaceted array of space and time to revive identities and cultural practices and to regain or retain land, human rights, heritage, and political standing.

The global view of Indigeneity has provided for a rich and diverse collection of literature on Indigeneity and the 21st-century Indigenous experience. Indigeneity cannot be discussed without a review of the colonial politics, policies, and practices that have historically worked to reinforce acculturation and the erasure of Indigenous identities and lifeways. Alfred and Corntassel 2005 argue that Indigeneity or Indigenous as an identity is experienced and lived within the politics of ongoing colonialism.”

Indigenization as the second "I" in "EDII"

The Office of Indigenous Initiatives recommends that the term Indigenization be used for the second ‘I’ in EDII (Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Indigenization).
