The Pathways to Education program will combine in-class instruction and personal learning to prepare Indigenous students for third-year entrance into the Bachelor of Education program at Vancouver Island University.

Through the Pathways Programs, instructors will draw on Indigenous ways of knowing and being to inform academic learning. The classes are structured to focus on student strengths and the language to nourish their spirit. This course provides an exploration of the historical relationships, colonial contexts, and social, economic and political influences that have impacted Indigenous peoples and communities. Students will examine pre-contact ways of knowing, grounded in local teachings, while exploring the ramifications of the process of colonization, including treaties, the Indian Act, residential schools, and other legislative attempts to assimilate Indigenous peoples into Euro-Canadian socio-political paradigm.
