We also greet you in Cree (nêhiyawêwin) with Tawâw (ta-door), meaning “welcome, we have made space for you”; in Mi'kmaw with Pjila'si (be-lah-seh); in Algonquin with Kwey; in Inuktitut with Atelihai (a-te-lee-hi); in Dakota with Hau or Hau hau; and in Michif with Bonjou.

We build on the foundations of the first two stagings on Turtle Island and the third gathering in Terra Cognita Australis, Great Southern Land. The 2026 gathering advances the momentum of past years’ participants (2023, 2024 and 2025) and recentres the global conversation on organizing with nature on Indigenous ways of knowing that guide our journeys towards:

• Regeneration
• Resurgence
• Rematriation
• Reconciliation

IARIMOS 2026 will assemble leading Indigenous and non-Indigenous senior management scholars in support of a new generation of emerging scholars — doctoral students, postdoctoral and early career researchers — to explore the expanses of research in Indigenous Management and Organization Studies.

In addition to representation from Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United States (the CANZUS nations), we seek to broaden IARIMOS’s relationships with the globe’s Indigenous custodians, and invite Indigenous researchers from Global South nations across Asia Pacific, Africa, the Caribbean and South America. Indigenous leaders and Elders’ presence at IARIMOS will contribute to research approaches that are connected to place, contribute to self-determination and are grounded in communality, ‘for the benefit of the many’.
