Students taking the Indigenous Relations bundle will learn about the history of Indigenous relations on Turtle Island and will be asked to address the contrasting worldviews that have often resulted in misunderstanding, discrimination, and racism toward Indigenous peoples in Canada today. The main objective is to increase understanding of Indigenous nation-to-nation relations within Canada, while enhancing participants’ sensitivity and understanding of their own accountability moving forward. Additionally, we will address how participants could engage in a meaningful way to enhance relationships with Indigenous peoples as professionals from a wide variety of sectors. Upon successful completion of this bundle, learners will have the knowledge and skills to confidently address racism within the workplace and act as advocates, peacemakers and teachers willing to become part of the larger discussion to end discrimination, systemic racism and hate.
