Introduction to Indigenous Politics

Undergraduate

This interactive course introduces students to Indigenous political perspectives on relationships with the land, nationhood, sovereignty, and legal traditions vis-a-vis Mi’kma’ki, the Canadian state, and the world. Students will learn how Indigenous peoples have been challenging colonialism through struggles for self-determination, recognition, self-government, land claims, and economic self- sufficiency. Identity, power, and the principles of Indigenous Knowledge forms are foundational.
