Handbook

Indigenous Thinkers: Global Perspectives is the Capstone Subject in the Indigenous Studies Major. It introduces students to the different ways Indigenous people understand and represent the diversity and complexity of their own lives, while recognizing that our understandings of Indigenous histories, knowledges, experiences and social realities have been profoundly shaped and, in many cases circumscribed, by those who are embedded in non‐Indigenous systems of knowledge and disciplinary traditions. This subject examines the concepts, theories and sets of meanings that exist at the interface of Indigenous and non‐ Indigenous knowledge systems.
