Indigenization, Decolonization, and Reconciliation Education Context

Historic and contemporary policies make Indigenous education in Canada a complex matter. The Assembly of First Nations states, “First Nations have an inherent and Treaty right to education, including post-secondary education (PSE) as part of a lifelong learning process.” Indigenous education today is influenced by colonial policies, including those that established the residential school system. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission published six volumes and 94 Calls to Action based on their research conducted between 2008 and 2015. Many of the calls relate to public awareness, including in specific fields associated with the teaching and learning that takes place at Ontario Tech.
