Federalism and Indigenous Peoples: An International Comparative Study

Undergraduate

The theory and the practice of accommodating the needs and interests of distinct groups within a federal system will inform our comparative analysis of how neo-colonial federal systems interact with Indigenous nations. Students will assess a variety of possible federal arrangements which could redefine relations between the Indigenous peoples and federal systems in Canada, the United States, Australia and elsewhere. Prerequisite(s): Second-year standing (i.e., >24h completed).
