In my proposed presentation, based on a proposed forthcoming chapter, I will explore how employing decolonizing frameworks and designing curriculum for decolonizing learning across disciplinary boundaries are significant acts of advocacy and solidarity. I will ground my arguments in Tribal Critical Race Theory; the Cree concept wâhkôhtowin, or creating relationship; the Latin American concept of buen vivir, referring to all aspects that are involved in living a good life; and the Andean concept of kawsay, or “living well”. Through pedagogies of relationality, I will argue that incorporating interdisciplinary approaches supports decolonizing learning spaces and contributes to creating more equitable approaches to knowledge systems. Drawing upon autoethnography, I will share my lived experiences as a non-Indigenous teacher in Indigenous communities and now as a teacher educator facilitating undergraduate- and graduate-level online and face-to-face learning in humanities and in education. I will make the case for postsecondary educators extending decolonizing efforts in including Indigenous frameworks, publicly available Indigenous-informed/-created learning documents, Indigenous language, and dual language texts to facilitate deepening comprehension through contextual, connection-based teaching and learning, amplifying Indigenous voices in academia, building relationships, and situating learning in social justice activism in and beyond academia.
