There is very little published research that explores employment inequities in Canadian Post-Secondary Institutes as they relate directly to Indigenous people (Chan, 2005; Doyle-Bedwell, 2008; Dua & Bhanji, 2012; Julien, Wright & Zinni, 2010; Singh, 2012). The primary question this study addressed was what impact, if any, did a GTA Aboriginal Post-Secondary School Educational Institute's (APSE's) organizational policies, practices and processes have on the recruitment, support, and retention of Aboriginal staff. The participants from the APSE included part time, full time, and Aboriginal Staffing Pilot Program (ASP) employees. Informed by Institutional Ethnography, Ojibwe Medicine Wheel and Womanist theory, the study explored the daily work experiences of the Aboriginal participants as they connected to broader social structures, processes and relationships within the organization. The findings included that the participants were disconnected from the policies enforced by the APSE. Policies were largely constructed without the consideration of Indigenous knowledges and priorities. Another finding was the lack of Indigenized culture and curriculum development erroneously reinforced the belief that Indigenous college members ought to "get over it" and conform to the College's corporate culture. Recommendations included increasing Indigenous staff representation; consistently Indigenizing the curriculum and culture of the APSE; and cultural safety awareness training for all staff. Given the Truth and Reconciliation calls to action directly hold educational institutions accountable for the needs and inclusion of Indigenous people, the experiences, and insights explored in this study are valuable information for post-secondary Human Resources departments and senior management examining their staff recruitment and retention efforts.
