Cultivating awareness

Indigenous courses, many taught by Indigenous faculty, centre on Indigenous perspectives and issues. A number of courses provide opportunities for in-community and on-the-land learning and include teachings from Elders and other knowledge keepers.

Indigenous learning supports people who want to develop careers in community engagement, community development, social work, nursing, education, leadership and public service.
