In honour of Indigenous History Month, the DeGroote School of Business is offering a learning and discussion opportunity!
The school is inviting interested faculty, staff and students to sign up for the Indigenous Canada course (free) and commit to completing one module per month and then joining a one-hour discussion group facilitated by Sharlee Cranston-Reimer to discuss their learnings.
More on Indigenous Canada:
Indigenous Canada is a 12-lesson Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) from the Faculty of Native Studies at University of Alberta that explores the different histories and contemporary perspectives of Indigenous peoples living in Canada. From an Indigenous perspective, this course explores complex experiences Indigenous peoples face today from a historical and critical perspective highlighting national and local Indigenous-settler relations. Topics for the 12 lessons include the fur trade and other exchange relationships, land claims and environmental impacts, legal systems and rights, political conflicts and alliances, Indigenous political activism and contemporary Indigenous life, art and its expressions.
