HIST 327 - We are all Treaty People

Canada is a nation built upon treaties, and as such, every individual who occupies this land has a responsibility to uphold the terms of these agreements; to share, respect, and protect the land for future generations. Students will develop understandings of kinship, reciprocity, and responsibility as critical elements to the establishment and maintenance of these relationships through time. Throughout the course, students will investigate the changing nature of treaties and treaty-making in Canada. Upon completion, students will be able to critically reflect on their roles and responsibilities as treaty people and examine solutions for moving forward in the spirit of reconciliation.
