Coursera - Indigenous Canada

Education is one of the most powerful ways to move forward towards Reconciliation. Several Canadian universities offer free online courses, available to anyone, that explore Indigenous histories and contemporary issues in Canada.

Indigenous Canada

This 12-lesson course from the Faculty of Native Studies is offered from an Indigenous perspective, and explores key issues facing Indigenous peoples today from a historical and critical perspective highlighting national and local Indigenous-settler relations. Click to access.

Aboriginal Worldviews

This course explores indigenous ways of knowing and covers topics including historical, social, and political issues connected to cultural, spiritual and philosophical themes in Aboriginal worldviews. Click to access.

We would like to thank the Coast Salish people, specifically the Squamish Nation and Tsleil-Waututh Nation, whose traditional territory the North Vancouver School District resides on.

We value the opportunity to learn, live, and share educational experiences on this traditional territory.
