HIST 103

An introduction to the history of the Stó:lō and their relations with outsiders (early traders, miners, and then settlers) from the turn of the nineteenth century to recent times. Students are encouraged to forefront Stó:lō experience and perspectives. Rather than seeing Indigenous people in colonial history, students are taught to invert the lens and see colonialism as something occurring within Stó:lō history. Significant themes include agency, resilience, resistance, and resurgence as viewed through the lenses of ethnicity, class, gender, and community within Stó:lō territory.
