Indigenization is a personal journey that begins with looking inward and seeking opportunities to learn. And, like most Indigenous journeys, it involves sacrifice and ceremony. Each stage of this journey will provide a different perspective, intended to give you the time and space to reflect and prepare yourself to act in accordance with your new learning. A number of post-secondary leaders who continue to inspire change and lead by example have influenced the development of this guide. The guide therefore includes qualitative research that draws on specific interviews with Indigenous people and post-secondary leaders.

This multi-media and open access course tells the story of Canada through the twin lenses of race and migration with tactical inclusions of indigeneity. We uncover buried histories, restore neglected and silenced voices, and map alternate geographies of nation. The modules consider immigration and citizenship laws, mobility and settlement, the experience of migrants in Canada (including temporary labourers), and struggles over recognition, memory, rights, and belonging. We trace the progress of “white civility,” the trajectories of hostility, acceptance, and assimilation, the impact of multiculturalism, the failures of humanitarian sentiment, the violations of the rights of Indigenous and racialized peoples and their struggle against and resistance to the power of the nation-state. We capture both the myth and reality of Canada in recording its past, living its present, and imagining its future.

The repatriation of cultural belongings in Canada is currently subject to few governmental regulations. This booklet serves as a guide for Indigenous communities looking to explore repatriation by providing background information on Acts and policies that could be encountered during their repatriation journey. We hope this resource is helpful to all those starting the process of welcoming their belongings home from institutions in Canada.
