This course explores the history and culture of Indigenous Peoples of northwestern BC, with a focus on how deep-time connections to place and landscape inform cultural knowledge, practices, and traditions.
Through classroom and field-based experience, we will explore how Indigenous peoples have managed, modified, and stewarded their lands for millennia, and how long-term practical experience with the landscape structures notions of territory, belonging, and Indigenous Rights and Title. We will study culturally significant places and landscapes through ways of knowing such as Indigenous oral histories, traditional ecological knowledge, anthropological ethnography, and archaeology, in order to understand connections between key concepts of place, culture, and history.
Field trips may include historic sites, museums, Indigenous communities and other places of significance on the landscape. The field portion may involve overnight stays in remote areas and/or camping.
