| Project Summary | Our broad goal is to ensure all students in the Faculty of Forestry and HGI have exposure to a foundational baseline of knowledge of Indigenous history and current issues that prepares them for future learning. A key component of this is to develop a foundational first year level Indigenous-focused course that serves the evolving needs of HGI and Forestry’s programs and provides conceptual laddering for students that links to our upper level curricula. Within the Faculty of Forestry, a lot of work has been done in developing and providing learning opportunities, courses and programs focused on Indigenous topics. This project aims to ensure there are clear pathways for students, course alignment and a cohesive scaffolding of knowledge and skills that will prepare students for working with Indigenous peoples and communities in the context of their future studies and professions. |
