Exploring Indigenous Realities: Embracing Cultural Knowledge, Pride, and Global Citizenship.
This course examines Indigenous realities within contemporary and historic Canadian and global settings. The objective is to provide students with knowledge of Indigenous cultures and traditions and to encourage First Nation, Métis, and Inuit students to take pride in the accomplishments of their peoples. This knowledge will enable students to participate meaningfully as citizens of their cultural community, of contemporary Canadian society, and as active and engaged global citizens. Non-Indigenous students will become knowledgeable of the worldviews, histories, cultures, and accomplishments of First Nation, Métis, and Inuit peoples and thus be able to engage in an informed and empathetic manned debate concerning issues at local, national, and global levels.
