Harvesting Indigenous Language

0.5 credits · Graduate

This graduate topics course is designed to facilitate engagement with an Indigenous language through weekend intensive cultural immersion. Located in culturally significant sites within the Kawarthas, the course will focus on language and culture as it relates to the fall cycle within the Natural World. Students will explore the connections between language and identity, worldview, orality, as well as recovery and revitalization. The intensive weekends will provide an immersive experience from which to think about the interplay between culture and language and how language can help us to understand the world better in a contemporary sense.
