This course will provide students with a historical context of colonization and residential schools. Students will examine the historical and current impacts of colonial policies on Aboriginal families and communities. This will lead into examining traditional practices of Aboriginal people and identifying those that will continue to be incorporated into creating health and wellness. This course will address the legacy of physical and sexual abuse in residential schools, including the intergenerational impacts by providing students with the opportunity to explore the impacts of colonization and residential schools, including the many forms of abuse, on their own family systems. Students will also explore the impact on their community systems and then examine how traditional methods of healing can be incorporated into practice, not only personally, but also professionally, as health workers. 2024/04/14-2024/04/19 Lecture Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday 08:30AM - 12:00PM, Room to be Announced (more)...
