This class will enable students to gain a greater understanding of the educational policies, both federal and provincial, that have guided the educational approaches towards the First Nations of Canada; both children and adults. This class will first provide a historical overview of government legislation and policy pertaining to education. This will be followed by an examination of the education system in the context of contemporary Canadian society. Further, we will investigate the educational pedagogy of First Nations, drawing from culturally specific regions. Finally, this class will assess First Nation educational initiatives over the past twenty-five years. 2025/09/03-2025/12/17 Lecture Wednesday 09:00AM - 12:00PM, 4155 Belshaw, Room M069
