The First Nations Studies specialization provides all students with the opportunity to learn about the people upon whose territory they reside, to learn about First Nations peoples' from their voices, perspectives, and worldviews, while gaining an understanding of the diversity amongst First Nations peoples' cultures, values, beliefs, traditions, protocols, history, languages, and relationship with the land.
First Nations students receive credentials and/or qualifications to work in their communities (administrative, research, or supervisory positions). All students acquire the tools to carry out honourable and useful research with First Nations communities because they learn and understand the importance of knowing the community they are working with (e.g. background, history, cultural protocols). For those wanting to complete university degrees, an Associate Degree in First Nations Studies can ladder into other degree programs, such as a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Social Work, and Bachelor of Education. |
