IKN 101: Indigenous Cultural Values, Behaviour and Identity
There are still spaces available to register for our IKN 101, the last day to add a course is this Friday, January 11, 2019. The course itself is taught by a prominent Indigenous Elder, Jim Dumont, who has been actively involved in the cultural and spiritual roots of the Ojibway-Anishinabe Midewiwin Tradition. Engage directly in the exploration, participation and learning of the traditional Anishinabe Way of Life.
This course is a study of the indigenous way of being. The indigenous way of perceiving and conceptualizing, of sensing and relating to the world, of thinking and processing thought, of behaving and acting are unique. Starting with the primary foundations and concepts of total indigenous personhood gained from the teachings, stories, spiritual or cultural practice, lifeways, life practice, and through the language, the student will explore and identify the primary shapers and motivators of indigenous being, behaviour, response, and identity. Students will be asked to develop a knowledge and understanding of indigenous psychology as total indigenous personhood as it occurs in the cultural environment, and how it affects indigenous response in the contemporary world.
