Indigenous Learning is an interdisciplinary, cross-cultural department open to both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal students. Borrowing from subjects including history, geography, anthropology and sociology, this program will examine societal structures and the ways the Indigenous population relates to mainstream populations in Canada.Throughout their programs we aim to enhance their awareness of Aboriginal life experiences, culture and political issues. University focus on the current reality of aboriginal people as opposed to the traditional, anthropological approach. While history is a component of their Indigenous Learning studies, it will be within the context of lived implications in order to challenge assumptions and mistaken understandings about these people.
