**68.375 Indigenous Methodologies - June 24 - July 18 - 1:30 - 4:00 PM - Monday to Thursday**

The critique of Western research methodologies has been an important part of the decolonization project of Native Studies for some time. The role of imperialism in shaping these methodologies, and their impact on indigenous peoples, has been documented and continues to be studied. In recent years this work has been complemented by the development of indigenous research methodologies. We examine a few of these in this course, discussing their significance and value. We also explore several broader issues, such as the ethics of research involving indigenous peoples and some of the distinctive features of indigenous-centered research. Students will have the opportunity to select and evaluate a research project that makes some attempt to structure itself in a culturally informed and appropriate manner.

**68.393 Treaties and Treaty Making - June 24 - July 18 - 9:00 - 11:30 AM - Monday to Thursday**

Indigenous peoples of North America responded to the presence of foreigners on their lands by drawing on value systems, legal traditions and diplomatic protocols which were sharply at odds with those of the West. These were vividly expressed in their unique approaches to the nature and significance of treaty-making. This course focuses on a variety of indigenous perspectives on treaty making, as presented by indigenous legal scholars and elders. It also explores some of the central historical and contemporary treaties developed between First Nations and the state of Canada.
