IS-1017 Introduction to Indigenous Studies: Politics and Governance

Add to My Courses

This course provides an introduction to the politics, economics and governance of indigenous peoples in Canada. These systems developed in distinctive ecological contexts that shaped the way these cultures learned to thrive in relationship to all other living things. The course begins with an introduction to the ontologies and epistemological foundations of thought then explores the historical evolution of the economic and political relationship between indigenous peoples (First Nation, non-status and Metis) and the nation state in Canada. Key topics include: the Royal Proclamation, the Treaties, Indigenous people and the Supreme Court of Canada, the Indian Act and Residential schools. Note: Students with credit in IS-1015 may not receive credit for IS-1017. Restrictions: Students may not hold credit for this course and IS-1015.
