Indigenous Infusion for Educational Leaders is a professional development program open to faculty and administrators at academic institutions, facilitating an educational journey through an Indigenous lens. In this course, participants are introduced to Indigenous education as a framework for holistic and lifelong learning, as practiced by Indigenous ceremonialists, knowledge carriers, scholars, and community members. Elements of Indigenous philosophy are examined within the context of a participatory and experiential knowledge system, along with the principles and processes significant to understanding and engaging with Indigenous ways of knowing and being in North America. By doing so, we aim to support learners in developing, enhancing, or expanding Indigenous education and engagement efforts on their respective campuses for the present and for seven generations to come.​

Participants will receive a Certificate of Participation at the conclusion of the program.

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Demonstrate the application of practical lessons and tools that support the integration of Indigenous ways of knowing, doing and being into practice.
  • Recognize  instances of anti-Indigenous racism within higher education and develop strategies to address them effectively.
  • Evaluate  reconciliation and justice-based initiatives implemented in other educational institutions, analyzing the contributing factors to their challenges, successes, impact, and sustainability.
  • Implement  strategies and wise practices aimed at fostering collaboration and engagement within the campus community to enhance Indigenous education and engagement initiatives.
