Academic Advising

With a background in Indigenous Studies, graduates will become advocates and educators to support efforts of reconciliation and decolonization in the workforce, by eliminating cultural biases.

A credential in Indigenous Studies supports many career avenues, including law, education, policymaking, oil and gas, natural resources and government by providing historical and contemporary experiences of Indigenous peoples.
