Contemporary Indigenous Issues in Canada
This course explores the history of Indigenous/state relations, the development of policy, and current efforts of Indigenous peoples to address historical matters through the critique of the residential school system and the pursuit of self-government, land claims, modern treaties and Indigenous rights. Includes a critical examination of Canadian historical writing, popular culture, and stereotypes of Indigenous peoples and will survey contemporary Indigenous expressions of identity in the arts, literature, cultural performances, and other public contexts.
