Abstract
There are increased efforts on the part of business schools to recruit more Indigenous students and faculty members in response to the call for greater inclusivity. Nevertheless, an inhospitable climate for Indigenous who wish to retain their cultural identity remains a challenge. This article describes the experience of a faculty member from a “recognizable minority” recruited to give an “inclusive” face to a business schools conventional models, and outlines the unwelcoming atmosphere faced by racialized students and faculty members in institutions that at the same time try to mould them into mainstream models. Can business schools allow Indigenous and other divergent voices to challenge and even reform mainstream models?

Résumé
Les écoles de commerce redoublent d’efforts pour recruter davantage d’étudiants et de professeurs autochtones en vue d’une plus grande inclusion. Le climat inhospitalier pour les autochtones qui souhaitent préserver leur identité culturelle reste un défi. Cet article décrit l’expérience d’une professeure issue d’une « minorité reconnaissable » recruté pour donner un visage « inclusif » aux modèles conventionnels d’une école de commerce. Il décrit l’atmosphère peu accueillante à laquelle sont confrontés les étudiants et les membres du corps enseignant racialisés dans des institutions qui tentent en même temps de les mouler dans les modèles dominants. Les écoles de commerce peuvent-elles permettre aux voix divergentes de questionner, voire de réformer, les modèles dominants ?
