Course description
In this course, students are engaged in an examination of Indigenous cosmologies, knowledges, and world views as they intertwine with the land. By centring the influence of the land on Indigenous worldviews, and through a self-reflective process, we aim to cultivate a holistic understanding of contemporary perspectives on identity, self-determination, and worldviews. This course will examine Indigenous narratives, oral traditions, language, culture, and storytelling traditions, including the relationships between human beings, the land, and spiritual dimensions. By inviting reflection and introspection, students will gain insights into the complexities of their own cultural backgrounds and their relationships with the land.
