EFDT 861

This course examines Indigenous identity, sense, and sensibility in relationship with their environments (lands, seas, mountains, rivers, lakes). Indigenous knowledge systems acknowledge sentience within these environments, which forms the basis of a reciprocal relationship between Indigenous peoples and their lands. During this course, students will examine how this relationship and these sentient beings guide the spiritual and physical nourishment of Indigenous identity and intellect that ultimately strengthens Indigenous language and cultural revitalization and continuations.
