Native Studies 20 is an examination of contemporary issues of concern to Indigenous peoples around the world. Students will:
- gain an understanding of the historical bases of current issues of concern to Indigenous peoples;
- become aware of and increase their understanding of Aboriginal philosophies which are the foundations of Indigenous cultures
- develop a personal sense of social commitment, that is to "think globally, act locally"
The course is divided into four units: a beginning unit to introduce students to the Indigenous world view; Unit Two which deals with the historical and global Indigenous struggle for self-determination and self-government; Unit Three which addresses development issues and Unit Four which discusses human rights from an Indigenous perspective.
