Indigenous Studies

Indigenous Studies Undergraduate Programs offer degrees including a Bachelor of Arts (three year) in Indigenous Studies, an Honours Bachelor of Arts (four year) in Indigenous Studies or students may choose the Indigenous Environmental Studies degrees in either the Science or Studies streams. Indigenous Studies programs encourage students to recognize and revisit societal assumptions; to analyze and critique current realities; to see where we have come from and where we find ourselves today; to where we would like to evolve and how to get there, with a good mind.Indigenous Studies offers its own theoretical basis of development as well as distinct methodologies. Combining these with the study of a variety of clustered areas of study, the program provides Indigenous approaches to individual, community, national, international and global development. Indigenous cultural knowledge is a ready tool for students, both Aboriginal and non-aboriginal, to obtain and use for their own development and for that of the society. Many aspects of the пПФselfпПХ become known to the individual through the process of participating in and assisting with the various clusters within the Indigenous Studies program.
