Turtle Island History
This micro-credential will work to decolonize by examining history through Indigenous perspectives and exploring those of Europeans upon arrival on Turtle Island. The micro-credential focuses on critical examination of both Indigenous and European narratives, colonization strategies and their impacts, and movements toward the development of right relations in Canada.
