Course Learning Outcomes:

1. Examine the concepts of global Indigeneity and global Indigenous history and critically reflect on how and why these concepts might be useful and/or problematic.
2. Explore the causes, conflicts, and consequences that have occurred wherever Indigenous communities have encountered colonizing invaders throughout history.
3. Discuss examples of historical and modern Indigenous experiences, movements, and ongoing struggles, using relevant case studies and new methodological approaches.
4. Critically evaluate and interpret primary and secondary source materials, considering how author positionality, as well as the time and location of the publication, can impact authors’ perspectives.
5. Analyze evidence and historiographical information to engage in well-researched and respectful discussions and to develop and support historical arguments about Indigeneity and Indigenous history, as well as the evolution of these concepts in a global context.
6. Centre and highlight Indigenous scholarship, knowledge, writing, and cultural production;
7. Build a “historian’s toolkit” to produce an academic paper - retrieve primary and secondary sources, differentiate between academic and non-academic secondary sources, and provide accurate and properly formatted citations in formal papers.
