Courses with Indigenous Content

As of September 2017, all new B.A. students are required to take at least 6 credits of Indigenous content courses during their degree program. Almost all departments and schools in the Faculty of Arts offer courses with Indigenous content. Over 100 Indigenous content courses are currently available in French or English.

 

What is Indigenous content?

 

Indigenous content may include:

  1. Creative works (novels, plays, poetry, etc.) written by First Nations, Métis, or Inuit authors.

  2. Readings (journal articles, book chapters, research reports, etc.) written by First Nations, Métis, or Inuit scholars, elders, or community members.

  3. Presentations (guest lectures, interviews, documentary films, etc.) by speakers who are members of First Nations, Métis, or Inuit communities.

  4. Readings or presentations by non-Indigenous scholars, activists, and writers who are deeply engaged with Indigenous issues.

  5. Assignments that require the use of Indigenous research methodologies, incorporate traditional Indigenous knowledge and worldviews, address topics pertaining to First Nations, Métis, or Inuit communities, or examine Indigenous issues from a cross-cultural perspective.

  6. Lectures that explore decolonization processes, individual and collective identities, cultural persistence, language revitalization, Indigenous activism and resistance, empowerment, social justice, and reconciliation.
