 164 Learning Series on Indigenous Identity in North American Academic Cont
 extsBackground: There is a serious and timely need to better understand th
 e issue of Indigenous identity within academic contexts on this continent.
  This need reflects the broader challenge of how North American scholarly 
 institutions engage with current conceptions and practices around Indigeno
 us identities.This learning series addresses the particular issues attenda
 nt on persons who self-identify as Indigenous, but with no demonstrable c
 onnection to an Indigenous Nation, in order to obtain status as students\
 , faculty and/or researchers within North American scholarly institutions.
  We recognize that the term “Indigenous identity” encompasses a complex se
 t of understandings about authority, place and belonging that are informe
 d by multiple worldviews and sociopolitical tensions. We also recognize th
 at in North America, “Indigenous identity” is bound up with the political
  and legal rights of Indigenous Nations, which are enshrined in statutes\
 , treaties, and judicial and administrative rulings dating back to pre-co
 nfederation and pre-constitutional times.Here we focus more narrowly on th
 e particular challenges faced by university scholars and administrators in
  navigating the field of Indigenous identity as it relates to faculty and 
 student recruitment and experience. In our departmental community there ar
 e gaps in our understanding about Indigenous nationhood and belonging that
  make us, to a degree, complicit in the perpetuation of opportunities fo
 r such misrepresentation. Lack of understanding enables Indigenous identit
 y fraud, erases Indigenous North Americans and Nations, and thus further
 s the objectives of settler colonialism. This learning series is designed 
 to address those gaps and assist us to approach the topic of Indigenous id
 entities in ways that best support our current and future Indigenous colle
 agues and students.Learning series resources REVISED 19 Sept 2025.pdf  Lea
