INDG courses

By taking INDG courses, students have an opportunity to immerse themselves in Indigenous history and culture; students expand their knowledge and understanding of Indigenous cultures, while developing professional skills such as innovative Indigenous approaches to learning and research to work with Indigenous communities.

All INDG courses count towards Indigenous Studies Plans and in many cases can be taken as electives.
