ANTH 100 - Selected Topics in Indigenous Studies

This course introduces students to Coast Salish and Indigenous communities in British Columbia, Canada, and beyond. We will explore various topics ranging from: language; ceremonies such as the potlatch; all my relations’ pedagogy; the power of story; ethnobiological knowledge; as well as historical events that have influenced these topics. Through this course, students will come to know the rich diversity of Indigenous peoples in British Columbia and engage with course material through lectures, comparative readings, and film. Course topics will be examined from both Indigenous and non-Indigenous perspectives. Each week will focus on specific topics or concepts, and the course will involve a series of online discussions and activities.
