Editorial: Indigenous Knowledges and the University

Abstract

Our opening editorial first acknowledges the work of first-wave In­digenous academics—Carl Urion (1990-1997) and Verna J. Kirkness (1986- 1992)1—who were the first Indigenous editors of the Canadian Journal ofNative Education. We describe the process of determining the theoretical structure, the theme issues, and the various sections that follow. The editorial ends with an introduction to members of each editorial team.
