Indigenous Studies Certificate

Thompson Rivers University

Develop 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.Concentrate on Indigenous studies as part of your degree as you are encouraged to analyze issues through a broad range of disciplinary course offerings. As Indigenous issues cross disciplinary boundaries, so too does this certificate.An important goal of this certificate is to provide an opportunity for Indigenous and non-Indigenous learners to study Indigenous knowledge in creative, transformative and critical ways.
