%X Following the release of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada¡¯s Calls to Action, Canadian universities and colleges have felt pressured to indigenize their institutions. What ¡°indigenization¡± has looked like, however, has varied significantly. Based on the input from an anonymous online survey of 25 Indigenous academics and their allies, we assert that indigenization is a three-part spectrum. On one end is Indigenous inclusion, in the middle reconciliation indigenization, and on the other end decolonial indigenization. We conclude that despite using reconciliatory language, post-secondary institutions in Canada focus predominantly on Indigenous inclusion. We offer two suggestions of policy and praxis¡ªtreaty-based decolonial indigenization and resurgence-based decolonial indigenization¡ªto demonstrate a way toward more just Canadian academy
