Second Semester

Mi'kmaw Studies 11 is based on a holistic perspective that integrates the past, present, and future and serves not only to highlight the Mi'kmaw experience, but also to provide opportunities for learners to gain an understanding of how they are connected to the history and culture of the First Peoples of the Maritimes.

The course incorporates an inquiry-based approach and examines broad concepts such as governance, culture, spirituality, education, and social justice. Students will analyze historical and contemporary Mi'kmaw issues, which will enable them to achieve a greater understanding of, and respect for, both Mi'kmaw society and Mi'kmaw contributions to Canadian society.

Through taking this course students should become more informed, active citizens who have a holistic understanding of the relationship among Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people in Nova Scotia and Canada.
