What Will I Learn?

You will trace political and social activism from decorated war veterans to the leaders of highly prosperous and self-governing nations. Knowing the causes and effects of shifting relationships, power and authority will prepare you to better understand the present day challenges facing Indigenous peoples and and what is being done to renew and move that relationship forward in the spirit of reconciliation.

In this course, you will demonstrate your learning in a variety of ways as you make real-world connections to your learning.
