Understanding Indigenous Health and Wellbeing

1.5 credits · Undergraduate

Develops student understanding of the socio-cultural history and current context that shapes the lives of Indigenous people and their communities' health in Canada. We enter into a 'relational space' through the use of storytelling, self-reflection, and experiential learning methods, and engage a critical social lens that explores power, white privilege, racism and culture. Embedded in this course are the strengths and gifts of Indigenous knowledge and teachings.
