This article explores three themes deemed critical to Indigenizing educational programs: partnering with community, cultural relevance, and faculty development. The need for institutional administrators to partner with Indigenous Elders and community members to facilitate relationships required to provide the knowledge necessary to bring about change within educational programs and the need to do so through a “two-eyed seeing” approach are highlighted. It is through such an approach that nursing curricula can be designed to be culturally safe and relevant for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous learners, and faculty can be supported in their growth and development in Indigenous knowledge.
