Course Description

Program Description Indigenous Studies is an interdisciplinary program designed to promote a comprehensive understanding of Indigenous peoples. University of Saskatchewan students have an opportunity to study in one of the most respected and progressive Indigenous Studies programs in Canada. Our students graduate with a unique and comprehensive understanding of Indigenous traditions, histories, languages and philosophies. They learn about Indigenous experiences, from present day challenges to pre-contact histories. Our courses enrich one’s appreciation for Indigenous societies and their many contributions to national and international communities. When combined with the skills students develop in writing, research and critical thinking, our graduates have many exciting career options in the rapidly-growing fields of Indigenous relations and education. The Indigenous Studies program provides students with an academic examination of historical and contemporary realities of Indian, Métis and Inuit societies in Canada. Students will explore the similarities and differences experienced by Indigenous societies within their community and around the world.
