This course introduces Indigenous ways of knowing through active participation. This course introduces students to an understanding of traditional ceremonies, worldview, creation stories and other narrative forms of knowing. By taking part in basic ceremonies and related practices, students will obtain knowledge of how Mi'kmaq people connect to each other, the land, other creatures and the world. This course will also explore certain ceremonies and teachings often referred to as "women's teachings" by reviewing literature and conducting research on teachings, ceremonies, and issues related to Indigenous women.
