What is "traditional knowledge"? What is its source? Its value? How does it differ from "scientific knowledge"? Why is it discounted, yet sought after? Why has it become the subject of international controversy? This course explores these questions, emphasizing both Indigenous and environmental aspects. It requires students to personally engage their minds in another worldview to discover how traditional knowledge has practical importance for future survival. Both Canadian and international contexts are addressed.
This course will be led by Sonia Wesche and Rarihowkats (Haudnosaane nation).
