As the original inhabitants of Canada, Indigenous peoples have made unique cultural adaptations to a range of environments from the West coast and Maritimes to the prairies, arctic, and Canadian Shield regions.
This course is an anthropological exploration of what distinguishes different Indigenous cultures from each other in terms of language, subsistence, lifeways, belief systems, histories, land use and territory, and other issues pre- and post-colonization.
Students will be able to communicate a solid research-based understanding of Canadian Indigenous identities and culture, focusing on various First Nations, Inuit and Métis groups.
