STT - Indigenous Peoples and Resource Management REM 207 (3)

This course provides a variety of Indigenous perspectives, priorities and complications with respect to resource, land and water management. We begin with an introduction to diverse Indigenous worldviews, values and principles, especially as they relate to the lands and waters of Indigenous nations. We will then seek to understand the complexities of resource management within the contexts of settler colonialism and neoliberal capitalism. Students will gain some insight into these complex issues with an emphasis on Indigenous self-determination. This course will include an examination of several case studies, primarily from British Columbia. Students will critically analyze contemporary resource issues from anti-colonial/reconciliation-informed perspectives.
