This article critically engages the politics of inclusivity by exploring the respective advantages and disadvantages faced by Indigenous peoples as (predominantly non-Indigenous) academic institutions come to recognize the merits of Indigenous knowledges and world views. Written in part from lived and personal experiences, we argue three specific points. First, there are certainly advantages for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples that result from increased inclusion of Indigenous peoples, voices, perspectives, and knowledges in the contexts of universities and postsecondary academic institutions. Second, whereas the academy has much to gain from the politics of inclusivity, Aboriginal peoples at both individual and community levels often have much to lose (or indeed have already lost a great deal) in the contours of the burgeoning relationship. Third, and by way of a conclusion, we propose a variety of suggestions to rectify what we perceive as a power imbalance between the academy and Indigenous peoples and knowledges operating therein.
