BA - Indigenous Studies (General) in Ottawa Canada | Carleton University

As an Indigenous Studies student, you'll explore key questions through a program that prioritizes Indigenous perspectives in research, education, and mentorship. Though Critical Indigenous Studies encompasses diverse areas of inquiry, we share a common dedication to Indigenous knowledge systems, community-based learning, and analyzing colonial structures.

Your coursework will examine topics including Indigenous feminist thought, gender and sexuality studies, ecological knowledge systems, urban Indigenous experiences, Indigenous legal traditions, past and present political movements, artistic expressions, language preservation connected to land, and global Indigenous solidarity. Graduating with an Indigenous Studies degree equips you to meaningfully contribute to vital movements: decolonial efforts, environmental justice, cultural revitalization, anti-racism initiatives, community empowerment, legal transformations, and reshaping historical narratives across Canada and internationally.
