The Indigenous Studies Certificate develops a better understanding of the priorities and aspirations of Indigenous peoples, locally and beyond. Actively explore through an interdisciplinary field of inquiry that seeks to understand the ways in which Indigenous peoples worldwide—despite their incredible diversity—share a common experience of colonization. Learn and think about historical contexts, political struggles, cultural expressions, and the lived ongoing effects of colonialism. The program offers courses that generate a rigorous and respectful understanding of Indigenous peoples’ languages, knowledge, cultures, histories, politics, arts, and traditions.
