Reconciliation &
Intercultural Relations

The Indigenous and Intercultural Relations course seeks to build an understanding of Canada’s Indigenous peoples’ worldviews, history, and culture. Onsite classes, workshops, and visits to local Indigenous sites teach about wakohtowin, the relationships understood by Indigenous people regarding humans, land, and spirituality. Students learn about experiences in Canada’s Indian Residential Schools. They learn about colonialism, treaty and the inherent rights of Indigenous peoples. (THIS IS THE WRONG TEXT)
