As a non-Indigenous educator, I want to approach Indigenization carefully. I feel pressure making sure it is done properly. It helps me know that I can (and should) involve Indigenous people into the process. The “Indigenization is Indigenous” (Memorial University, 2019) article makes me realize that I should turn to Indigenous people for guidance and direction. Change is led by Indigenous people (Memorial University, 2019). I need to give room for Indigenous voices and remember that it is not just one voice, but rather an unanimous voice of their culture.
