Credit(s): 3
Lecture Hour(s): 3
Lecture Hours Schedule Type: Blended, Lecture, Online
This course engages Indigenous interpretations of Canadian History and perspectives on Indigenous-settler relations. Acknowledging a history of cultural genocide and Indigenous nations’ ongoing struggle for nationhood, this course reconsiders settler histories of the Canadian state by contextualizing historical events and processes within Indigenous historical narratives. In addition to providing students greater depth of understanding of the history of Indigenous-settler relations in what is currently Canada, students will compare historical interpretations of the past written by Indigenous scholars to those written by settler scholars. In doing so, students will learn not only what has happened in the past but how the past is studied, represented, and used in the present.

Recommended Preparation: Any 1000-level history course.
