| Faculty: | Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences |
| Description: | Centring its research, teaching and mentorship on Indigenous worldviews, community-engaged learning and dissection of colonial power and politics, the program explores questions such as the relationship between land, language and how kinship shape human and more-than-human relations. Critical questions such as how Indigenous peoples fight the climate crisis and how we can explain conflict around land and rights in an age declared to be about (re)conciliation challenge our existing knowledge and provide a well-rounded understanding of historical and contemporary Indigenous issues. Faculty consist of elders, knowledge keepers and community members with a track record of contributing to Indigenous knowledge development. Core courses such as Indigenous feminisms, genders and sexualities, ecological ways of knowing, Indigenous urbanisms, legal orders, political struggles, arts and culture, languages and their relationships to the land, and global Indigeneity, provide understanding of decolonization, climate action, Indigenous cultural and political resurgence, anti-racist education, grassroots capacity-building, law and policy reform, and revising the public narratives of Canada and beyond.
