Notes
In this program – the first of its kind anywhere in North America – you’ll study a unique mix of Indigenous knowledge and Western teachings, learning from Indigenous and non-Indigenous faculty, elders, guest speakers and other scholars. Here, you’ll explore complex topics such as climate change, sustainable communities and Indigenous health and environment. By applying a cross-cultural approach, you’ll learn to generate solutions to the complex local, regional, national and international issues facing Indigenous peoples and communities around the world. You can also take hands-on environmental fieldwork courses in Trent’s 12 on-campus nature areas.
