Reporting on Indigenous Issues

1.00 credits · Undergraduate

Journalism has influenced the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadian peoples, including the story of colonialism, the residential school system, and reconciliation processes. Students will learn this context as well as the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and the way in which governments interact. Students will report on Indigenous issues, developing their cross-platform skills as well as networks of knowledge. Key will be the development of relationships with Indigenous communities.
