CLASH OF CULTURES
EDUCATING THE FUTURE GENERATIONS
This course provides an introduction to Native American history and culture, with a focus on building greater sensitivity and understanding between Native and non-Native peoples.
Drawing on the biography and writings of Kahnawake Mohawk leader Mike Mitchell, we will explore Indigenous perspectives, experiences, values and traditions.
Topics will include early Indigenous life, European colonization, cultural clashes, Indigenous resistance, government policies, and efforts toward reconciliation. The course aims to foster thoughtful reflection and dialogue to promote improved relations.
