Current Students

Students enrolling in the Indigenous Studies program will have an excellent opportunity to study the Indigenous perspective and how it relates to disciplines involving art, law, philosophy, politics, history, gender studies, ecology, business, customs, and language.

All of the classes in Indigenous Studies are taught from the Indigenous perspective - this makes our program the most unique and one of the most soughtafter programs in Canada. The majority of our courses are taught by instructors who are professionals in their fields with real-world experience, many of whom are known nationally and internationally.
