    Course Description:
    Over the last 30 years, matters of jurisdiction, constitutionality, and the form of
    Indigenous governance have been contested and debated by governments, lawyers
    and academics. Similarly, within Aboriginal communities, the colonial, philosophical,
    spiritual and cultural foundations of contemporary Aboriginal governance (both Indian
    Act government and Aboriginal (self) government) has been questioned and debated.
    This course is intended to provide students with a foundation to critically explore and
    engage in these multidimensional debates.

    This course examines Indigenous governance and politics before and since the
    ‘European invasion’ of the Americas. It will introduce students to key themes, debates,
    ideas, trends and controversies pertaining to Indigenous governance (not just self-
    government) and its study. It will provide students with the necessary background,
    frameworks and concepts for understanding and analyzing Indigenous governance
    past, present and future (traditionally, under the Indian Act and in a re-envisioned - and
    potentially decolonized - form).

    Focusing on the past, present and future of Indigenous governance, the course will
    explore topics including pre-colonial Indigenous governance, the politics of colonization
    (political genocide, the Indian Act, treaties) and reactions to colonization (treaty-
    federalism, self-government, self-administration). Please note, this course is not simply
    about self-government. It is a course in Indigenous political history, contemporary
    Aboriginal governance, decolonization and the colonial relationship. It is also a course
    which is designed to introduce students to both contemporary Indigenous political
    thought and Indigenous constitutional law and politics.
