Abstract
Educators recognise the importance of the internationalisation of the curriculum to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education. A culturally responsive pedagogy aims to enhance the learning experience of all students, irrespective of their culture (Morrison et al., 2019). However, when it comes to embedding Indigenous perspectives in the curriculum, it can seem like a daunting task. Many educators may fear ‘getting it wrong’ or being accused of being ‘tokenistic’ in their approach (Hoger, 2020). This fear is genuine and understandable. However, it is not an adequate reason to intentionally exclude Indigenous perspectives in the curriculum.
