Abstract
The final report of the TRC issues three calls to action that directly implicate Business Schools to engage in teaching, research, and service to advance reconciliation. We propose a three-part workshop to generate knowledge, community, and action on indigenizing and decolonizing business schools. In the first part, business school (and perhaps university) leaders will provide an overview of the administrative issues we face at the university level and how they can support us in this important work. The second part will focus on curricular development, both current state of the art and ideas for future improvement. The third part will focus on the basic, applied, and action research that could grow out of this work. Planned outcomes include shared resources for teaching and research and inspiration for continuing this work.

If this workshop proves beneficial to participants and business schools, we speculate that it could become a periodic workshop at ASAC as we proceed on our reconciliation journey together.
