Introduction to Indigenous Studies

In this course, students will develop an awareness of Indigenous peoples in Canada, their heritage, culture and history from creation to the present day. This course will be situated within an Indigenous worldview. The framework will provide students with an increased understanding of the impacts of colonization, residential schools and ongoing stereotyping. Students will gain an appreciation of Indigenous resilience and resistance from a strength-based perspective and an understanding of the healing journey towards reconciliation and living the Good Life (Mino-Biimadiziwin).
