Strong Helpers' Teachings

1.00 credits · Undergraduate

Ogitchita Luwatilihunyunih (Anishinaabe and Oneida Translation) is designed to build upon the content and learning from SWP435. It provides students with an understanding of an anti-colonial theoretical framework when approaching social work with Indigenous Peoples. Students examine how social policies and research inform social work practice with Indigenous Peoples, with an emphasis on self-determination/sovereignty and Indigenous research methodologies. They gain an understanding of the strengths of Indigenous worldviews in helping others and address how to integrate these into their practice.
