How do I decolonize my classroom\/teaching\/curriculum?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Decolonization involves a personal journey of unpacking our biases and recognizing hard truths about Canada&#8217;s genocidal colonial history. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kpu.ca\/indigenous\/activities\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.kpu.ca\/indigenous\/activities\">x\u00e9\u0294el\u026c KPU Pathway to Systemic Transformation<\/a>, created with support from the Indigenous Advisory Committee, offers specific guidance to members of Kwantlen Polytechnic University. If you are just getting started on this journey, here are <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.wordpress.kpu.ca\/decolonization\/headwaters\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/dev.wordpress.kpu.ca\/decolonization\/headwaters\/\">three first steps<\/a> you can take. (1) Give meaningful territorial acknowledgements. (2) Bring Indigenous stories\/authors\/scholarship into your teaching\/work. (3) Incorporate Indigenous ways of teaching and learning into your practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>2. How can I find authentic Indigenous resources?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>KPU has two specific LibGuides to help instructors and students find Indigenous resources. The first is <a href=\"https:\/\/libguides.kpu.ca\/indigenous\/xwexweyem\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/libguides.kpu.ca\/indigenous\/xwexweyem\">\u03c7\u02b7\u0259\u03c7\u02b7\u00e9y\u0313\u0259m Indigenous Collection<\/a>, which is located at four KPU campuses: Cloverdate, Langley, Richmond, and Surrey. The second is <a href=\"https:\/\/libguides.kpu.ca\/indigenous\/findingindigenousvoices\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/libguides.kpu.ca\/indigenous\/findingindigenousvoices\">Finding Indigenous Voices<\/a>, which outlines colonial barriers, Identifying Indigenous Authorship, Indigenous content at KPU libraries, and research with the catalogue and summon. In addition, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kpu.pressbooks.pub\/indigenousinformationliteracy\/\">Indigenous Information Literacy<\/a>\u00a0Pressbook provides a detailed outline for working with Indigenous sources in university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>3. How do I bring an Indigenous guest speaker to my class?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elder Lekeyten can be invited to speak to your class or walk with them outdoors. Please ensure you follow the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kpu.ca\/indigenous\/elder\">proper protocols outlined here<\/a>. KPU also hosts Indigenous artists, knowledge keepers, and Elders in residence, whom can be invited to speak to your class. Indigenous residents in 2025 include <a href=\"https:\/\/linktr.ee\/Senaqwila\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/linktr.ee\/Senaqwila\">Senaqwila Wyss <\/a>(entrepreneur in residence), <a href=\"https:\/\/sonyaballantyne.com\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/sonyaballantyne.com\/\">Sonya Ballantyne<\/a> (writer and filmmaker in residence), and <a href=\"https:\/\/runnermag.ca\/2025\/02\/kpu-welcomes-first-indigenous-journalist-in-residence\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/runnermag.ca\/2025\/02\/kpu-welcomes-first-indigenous-journalist-in-residence\/\">Robert Jago<\/a> (journalist in residence). Previous Indigenous residents include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kpu.ca\/news\/2024\/01\/24\/richard-pierre-joins-kpu-indigenous-knowledge-keeper-residence\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.kpu.ca\/news\/2024\/01\/24\/richard-pierre-joins-kpu-indigenous-knowledge-keeper-residence\">Elder Richard Pierre<\/a> (knowledge keeper in residence), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kpu.ca\/news\/2024\/01\/29\/award-winning-writer-selina-boan-joins-kpu-indigenous-writer-residence\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.kpu.ca\/news\/2024\/01\/29\/award-winning-writer-selina-boan-joins-kpu-indigenous-writer-residence\">Selina Boan<\/a> (writer in residence), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kpu.ca\/news\/2023\/09\/21\/napatsi-folger-kpus-new-indigenous-artist-and-writer-residence\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.kpu.ca\/news\/2023\/09\/21\/napatsi-folger-kpus-new-indigenous-artist-and-writer-residence\">Napatsi Folger<\/a> (artist and writer in residence). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that external Indigenous guest speakers typically require contracts. Funding from your dean&#8217;s office (or garnered externally) is necessary, as Indigenous Student Services will not have the resources to support this in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>4. What supports for Indigenous students are available at KPU?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kpu.ca\/indigenous\">Indigenous Student Services<\/a>\u00a0is dedicated to empowering Indigenous students to achieve their highest potential.\u00a0 Through academic support, cultural programming, wellness resources, peer tutoring, events, and advocacy, we foster a sense of belonging and community for First Nations,\u00a0M\u00e9tis and Inuit students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kpu.ca\/indigenous\/gathering-place\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.kpu.ca\/indigenous\/gathering-place\">The Gathering Place<\/a> serves as a hub of inclusivity, a welcoming space for students, faculty, staff, as well as external visitors and guests to connect, share experiences and build meaningful relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>5. Who created this website?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Decolonizing Educational Practices resource was developed in collaboration and consultation with many Indigenous colleagues and community. Lee Beavington created the content and website. For a full list of collaborators <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.wordpress.kpu.ca\/decolonization\/gratitude\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/dev.wordpress.kpu.ca\/decolonization\/gratitude\/\">please visit this page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>6. What books do you recommend I read?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are eight books to assist you on your decolonization journey.
