Description
This course is grounded in the understanding that at the time of contact Indigenous communities provided individuals with the context and supports necessary for healthy and meaningful lives. Despite colonization and forced assimilation Indigenous peoples continue to demonstrate resiliency and healing, as evidenced by Residential School Survivors' participation in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. Historically, Canada has missed opportunities to learn from Indigenous peoples, particularly in the areas of education, sustainability and holistic living. Indigenous views of wellness, well-being, healing and resiliency are, therefore, explored. Particular focus is given to how these might influence professional practice in schools.
