Responsibilities to Coastal Indigenous Peoples and Lands

This introductory survey centres local lands and Coast Salish protocols and examines Canadian political relationships with First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples. Maps BC nations and territories to highlight relationships of land, water and people, including what it means to be a good guest here. We cover both histories of encroachment and histories of resistance and revitalization. Community-based knowledge holders contribute throughout.

Registrants in this course will be non-credit students, who will join credit students from multiple faculties. All students are expected to fully participate in course requirements.
