Indigenous Literature

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action recognize the vital role of education in reconciliation. Students examine Indigenous literature in a variety of genres from different historical periods, using theoretical approaches that consider the differences between Indigenous and colonial worldviews and values. Themes include creation stories, the impact of colonization, the experience of Indigenous women and girls, and Indigenous resurgence and resistance.
