Indigenous innovation and organizational change towards equitable higher education systems: the Canadian experience

Merli Tamtik · 2023 · AlterNative An International Journal of Indigenous Peoples

Summary. Indigenous peoples in Canada have leveraged innovation discourse to push universities toward organizational change that incorporates Indigenous knowledges and worldviews. The study examined 15 research-intensive universities and interviewed 13 Indigenous people, finding that Indigenous groups successfully created normative shifts in institutional structure. Decolonizing approaches to innovation offer pathways to equitable higher education by centering reciprocity, ecological sustainability, and land connection over market-driven models.
