Sport and Physical Activity in Indigenous Communities

Three credits · Undergraduate

This course examines sport and physical culture in the lives of diverse Indigenous Peoples in the context of Canadian settler colonialism. Recognizing that sport has been both a space of oppression and empowerment for Indigenous Peoples, the course will unpack sport’s complex meanings in diverse Indigenous communities in Canada and consider how it may contribute to ongoing processes of truth and reconciliation. Prerequisite: HKIN 264 or 352. Three credits.
