Settler Colonialism

This course examines how historians can use the concept of settler colonialism as a lens through which to understand Canadian history. In addition to the history of Indigenous/settler relations, the course focuses on the legal underpinnings of settler rule in Canada, from the Royal Proclamation (1763) to the Indian Act (1876-present) and beyond. The course also focuses on perspectives of the Indigenous Peoples who resisted the destruction of their governments, cultures, livelihoods, languages and families through settler colonial laws and through institutions such as residential schools.
