Overview

The Indigenous Studies program provides a unique perspective that pertains to such disciplines as anthropology, linguistics, philosophy, psychology, religious studies and sociology. The program, housed at the University of Sudbury – a federated partner of Laurentian University – is dedicated to the revival of Indigenous self-determination and the renewal of Indigenous thought and languages. It promotes the rights, values and cultures of Indigenous peoples while developing Indigenous-appropriate approaches to community development and the analysis of national and global issues relating to Indigenous peoples.
