Institutional Learning Outcomes: Communication, Indigenous Knowledges and Ways This course introduces students to a range of Indigenous Literatures in Canada, which may include themes of various Indigenous concepts of being and presence, kinship, gender, inter-or-multigenerational trauma, colonialism, decolonization, Indigenous futurity, and Indigenous literary nationalisms. To develop skills in critical and close reading reflection, students will examine social, cultural, historical, and political contexts in which these materials were produced to interrogate the relationship between the representation to (past, contemporary, and future) Indigenous realities and themes relevant to various Indigenous nations and communities, which may include urban, rural, and the reserves of Canada. The term Indigenous encompasses First Nations, Metis, and Inuit. Prerequisites: English Studies 12 or equivalent. Note: This course satisfies the first half of the introductory English literature and composition requirement of TRU-Open Learning degrees. Students with credit for ENGL 1001, ENGL 1019 or ENGL 1011 may not take this course for further credit. Students with credit for ENGL 1021 may not take ENGL 1061 or ENGL 1999 for further credit in some programs. Students will only receive credit for one of ENGL 1001, ENGL 1011, CMNS 1811.
