INST 203 Indigenous Studies I Revision C3Course InformationOverviewIndigenous Studies 203: Indigenous Studies Iis a three-credit survey course that introduces historical,anthropological, sociological, and political science perspectives on the origins and implications of themajor federal and provincial government policies bearing on Indigenous peoples. It analyses, in broadterms, the history of Indigenous–European relations from the beginning of contact between the twogroups to the current time. The course introduces the principal legal and statutory documents, such astreaties, theIndian Act, theBritish North America Actof 1867, and theConstitution Actof 1982, thatform the basis of Canadian state policies toward Indigenous peoples. You will be required to read bothprimary and secondary materials related to these policies to help you focus your thinking.Indigenous studies is a multidisciplinary field that relies on sources in many different disciplines. Thiscourse focuses primarily on sources from history, anthropology, sociology, and political science, but italso uses sources from literature, women’s studies, and the field of Indigenous studies itself. Most ofthese different sources are from non-Indigenous writers, but this trend is changing and there are nowmany Indigenous writers within these academic disciplines. Indigenous studies generally tries to balancesources between Indigenous and non-Indigenous authors, in an attempt to provide as manyperspectives as possible.Although sources differ, all must be treated with the same amount of critical thought and analysis.Indigenous studies is generally described asnon-exclusive: none of the readings selected for this coursecan be excluded on the basis of their authorship or the discipline they come from. The many differentperspectives within Indigenous studies provide a richness of debate on and discussion of the issuespresented in this course.Indigenous peoples’ responses to government schemes to assimilate and subordinate them tomainstream Canadian culture and interests will, therefore, present diverse viewpoints on whetherIndigenous peoples today are oppressed and disadvantaged in the Canadian polity, whether theirsituation has improved over time, and whether improvements are likely in the foreseeable future. Thereare also diverse viewpoints on resistance to colonialism by Indigenous peoples, including discussions ofthe early relationships and trading alliances between Europeans and Indigenous peoples, the resistanceto European settlement that resulted in theRoyal Proclamation of 1763, and later treaty negotiationsacross Canada. Resistance to colonialism by Indigenous peoples also figures prominently incontemporary issues, including revisions of theIndian Actand other actions that resulted in theentrenchment of Aboriginal rights in Section 35 of theConstitution Actof 1982.The course study guide is made up of three units, which are divided into sections.
