About us

Sustainability is a term (notion) that has been kidnapped by mainstream ideology. 
Indigenous peoples all over the planet have entertained sacred relations with the land, the immaterial world, with the mysterious circle of life, our ancestors and those that are to come (our future generations). For us, indigenous peoples, being true to our responsibility is what infuses a sustainable relation with sacredness.
This is why this course is called Sacred/Sustainable Relations: a Vision of Indigenous Peoples.  
This course is offered for the Program of Aboriginal Studies at the University of Ottawa by Dr. Marcelo Saavedra-Vargas.
