As part of the journey to explore Canadian Indigenous cultures and history, members of our congregation have taken and recommend the free online course, Indigenous Canada, offered through the University of Alberta. From the U of A website:
Indigenous Canada is a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) from the Faculty of Native Studies that explores Indigenous histories and contemporary issues in Canada.
From an Indigenous perspective, this course explores key issues facing Indigenous peoples today from a historical and critical perspective highlighting national and local Indigenous-settler relations.
Indigenous Canada is for students from faculties outside the Faculty of Native Studies with an interest in acquiring a basic familiarity with Indigenous/non-Indigenous relationships.
The link to the course description and registration is below. Should you wish to have support as you work through the modules, please contact the church office at (403) 255-0001.
