Students will be introduced to the determinants of Indigenous peoples' health in Canada. Using both the anthropological and sociological lens, students will develop an understanding of approaches to health and healing that resonate with Indigenous peoples through readings and a collective exploration. Students will understand that health is one of the most significant issues that defines the lives of Indigenous peoples in Canada.
Contemporary understandings and practices will be overlaid on traditional understandings of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health and wellbeing to identify and foster holistic Indigenous health and well-being. This course will also allow the student to become conversant with the ways in which both historic and contemporary issues have impacted Indigenous people’s health, and how these issues are being addressed in present-day Mi’kma’ki, particularly PEI.
