Indigenous Canada is a 12-lesson Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) from the Faculty of Native Studies that explores the different histories and contemporary perspectives of Indigenous peoples living in Canada. From an Indigenous perspective, this course explores complex experiences Indigenous peoples face today from a historical and critical perspective highlighting national and local Indigenous-settler relations. Topics for the 12 lessons include the fur trade and other exchange relationships, land claims and environmental impacts, legal systems and rights, political conflicts and alliances, Indigenous political activism, and contemporary Indigenous life, art and its expressions.

Since February 2019, the three Oblate provinces in Canada have established a collaborative ministry called Le Centre Oblat: A Voice for Justice. The Oblates prioritized work in four areas: ecological justice, reconciliation with Indigenous peoples, solutions to poverty, and challenging unjust practices of some Canadian extractive industries in countries of the Global South. If you would like to receive the Centre’s bilingual, bi-weekly electronic newsletter (monthly during the summer months), simply send a request to centreoblat@omilacombe.ca | |
