Course description

This course provides a critical overview of Canada’s historical and contemporary colonial practices, including legislation, dispossession of land, language and culture, and residential schools and the impacts of intergenerational trauma. Participants will be provided opportunities to engage with the course material in intentional and interactive manners, including discussion and reflection, while we also collectively imagine how to support the reclamation of Indigenous people’s intergenerational power.
