The Minor in Indigenous Studies currently provides students with a broad interdisciplinary approach to key topics in the historical, social, and cultural dimensions of Indigenous life on Turtle Island (North America). The core courses offered within the program focus on engaging with Indigenous knowledge systems and societies from within, in ways that promote the resurgence of these systems, while placing an emphasis on the field of Indigenous Studies鈥� distinct methodologies, expectations, and reciprocity in the Program鈥檚 Indigenous community partnerships.
Students are encouraged to seek program credits, as complementary courses, from other courses offered at 成人VR视频 which have significant Indigenous content. They should approach the program director for approval with a copy of the syllabus for the course in question.
