François Bastien’s story begins in Wendake. As a Huron-Wendat, he has worked in both French and English with various Indigenous organizations such as the First Nations Educational Council (FNEC) in Wendake, Kiuna College in the Abénaki community of Odanak and briefly with Maskwacis Cultural College within the Four Nations of Maskwacis. While working with these communities, he observed various incongruities between Indigenous ways of organizing and contemporary colonial models. Throughout his PhD at HEC Montréal, his limited term appointment (LTA) at the John Molson School of Business, his work as an assistant professor at the University of Alberta (Augustana Campus) and now as an assistant professor at the Peter B. Gustavson School of Business, he has noticed a shared struggle to decolonize and Indigenize. His research work focuses on Indigenous knowledges, Indigenous management, Indigenous organizing and indigenization. He currently sits on the editorial review board for the Academy of Management Learning & Education.
