3 credits · Undergraduate

This course considers how relations between Indigenous peoples and Settlers have been shaped by divergent and sometimes contentious interpretations of pivotal historical events, processes, and contexts. By examining how Indigenous peoples and Settlers have addressed topics such as Indigenous identity, political rights, spirituality, education, fisheries, self-government, casinos, research ethics, and oral history, this course will shed light on crucial issues that have conditioned the shifting relationship between these groups in the past and present.
