This book offers new perspectives from Indigenous leaders in academic affairs, student affairs, and central administration to improve colleges and universities to cultivate spaces of belonging with Indigenous students and professionals.

The book discusses and illustrates ways that leadership norms, values, assumptions, and behaviors can often originate from cultural identities, and how these assumptions can affect how colleges and universities evolve to serve Indigenous Peoples. The intergenerational perspectives in this book contribute valuable insights for leadership development and reflection among leaders in higher education, and offers key recommendations for transforming higher education. This volume will be important reading for those studying or researching Education Leadership, Indigenous Studies, Higher Education, Foundations of Education, and Multicultural Education, and will serve as a beneficial resource to Indigenous leaders and educational leaders.
