Course Description
This survey course provides an overview of the relationship between the Canadian state and Indigenous peoples by analyzing key historical and contemporary legal and political developments in this evolving relationship. Exploring the history of treaties, colonialism, dispossession and assimilation helps explain the current transition to demands for Indigenous self-governance, land claims and treaty negotiations. The course will also address pressing contemporary socio-political issues, like Indigenous peoples in extractive industries, political mobilization in a global context, and the resurgence movement. The central objective for the course will be to analyze and evaluate the interplay between history, political mobilization, and law in shaping Indigenous-state relations by engaging respectfully with Indigenous and Canadian political thought and worldviews.Learning Outcomes
