This course surveys the richness and diversity of Indigenous literatures and oral traditions in what is now called Canada. Learners engage with a variety of genres such as poetry, short stories, plays, and novels to highlight both historical and contemporary Indigenous voices and expressions of resistance to colonialism. Learners investigate central themes in the literary genres paying particular attention to how Indigenous writers draw on stories, cultural motifs, and language forms to reassert Indigenous identity and sovereignty.
