Description
Indigenous-Mennonite Relations examines the history of the encounters between Indigenous societies and a European settler group. It focuses on specific encounters, first in Canada, but also in the United States, Mexico, Paraguay and Bolivia. It considers the intrusion on Indigenous lands of ethno-religious societies such as the Mennonites, and the evolution of attending social relations, including both inter-community co-operation and conflict. It examines respective worldviews, including ideas on non-violence, social equality, gender relations, racialization and land stewardship. The course considers recent cross-cultural exchanges, including Mennonite advocacy, Indigenous counter-cultures, and persisting relations between the two cultures.
