In this module, we covered how to:
- Recognize some key elements of Indigenous worldviews and knowledges, and how they differ from Western/European-influenced ways of knowing
- Identify key historical and contemporary contexts that shape systemic racism, power, and privilege in relation to Indigenous Peoples in a Canadian, and McMaster University-specific context
- Reflect on your own attitudes and beliefs that can influence our relationship to Indigenous peoples and knowledges in our classrooms.
