INDG-Online
Indigenizing Curriculum in response to the TRC Calls to Action
Supported by Aboriginal Strategic Initiatives (ASI), as per the SFU ARC report
Through this project, Indigenous Studies (INDG) courses were developed, updated, as well as digitized for accessible online delivery and learning, making it possible for students to remotely complete an INDG Research Certificate. Providing robust curricula on topics such as residential schools, treaties, and other issues impacting Indigenous Peoples in Canada directly responds to the TRC Calls to Action (62.1). Also available on this website are resources, such as recorded lectures, that can be used by the wider community for educational purposes.
