Course Code: MBCFP-12
BC First Peoples 12 is a course for anyone who would like to develop a deeper understanding of Canada as a country. Students will investigate how colonialism impacts the political, social, and economic lives of BC’s First Peoples, and how Indigenous peoples challenge and resist that colonialism. We will explore: Indigenous world views and traditions; important laws, legislation, and legal cases; First Nations treaties, land title and collective rights; Indigenous activism and social movements; First Nations leadership, and governance; Indigenous representation and identity; and what Canada and settler Canadians can do to make progress on justice for, and reconciliation with Indigenous peoples.
**BC First Peoples 12 can be used to meet the Indigenous focused course requirement students must meet to graduate.**
