Abstract

Canada, Australia and New Zealand have made great efforts over the years to include native populations in higher education and go to great lengths to reflect on this question. The objective of this research is to conduct a bibliographic review of the academic publications on these experiences, and to conduct, as well, an investigation of the programs developed there by consulting the universities' websites. A selection of at least two programs will be made, which will be studied in greater detail, through interviews (which may be carried out in person or remotely) with those responsible for the programs. It is expected that the researcher, who must have certified English proficiency, do a research internship abroad, in one of the studied universities. On that occasion the researcher can conduct interviews in person.
