Program Overview

We live in an era of decolonization and reconciliation, in which Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples must grapple with the haunting legacies of racism and cultural violence and find ways to move forward. The interdisciplinary Indigenous Studies program seeks to aid this effort by providing both Indigenous and non-Indigenous students with an in-depth understanding of the historical and contemporary experience of Indigenous peoples in North America and the world.

Following the Mamiwininmowin (Algonquin language) concept of aditawazi nisoditadiwin, or walking in two worlds, this program blends traditional academic instruction with Indigenous approaches to teaching. Coursework in the program covers four main thematic areas: Indigenous peoplehood studies; Indigenous ways of knowing  and epistemologies; the history of Indigenous-Settler relations and colonization; and Indigenous recovery, vitalization, and reclamation and decolonization. In fourth year, students will have the option of working with elders or a community organization in a capstone project.

The Carleton Advantage
Indigenous Studies is a growing, globally engaged field of study. Carleton’s Combined Honours BA program presents students with aspects of Indigenous peoples’ ways of knowing and ways of living in the world.
You will explore histories, identities, cultural practices and traditions, languages, diplomacies, politics, community dynamics, and ecological ways of knowing.
The Combined Honours degree allows students to choose a second discipline of their choice and offers a wide range of electives from many areas, including Art History, Geography, Human Rights, Law and Canadian Studies.
In the fourth year, you will have the option of working with elders or a community organization in a Capstone project.
Carleton’s location in Ottawa allows the School to build meaningful relationships with communities and numerous urban and national Indigenous organizations in the region.

The admission average we use is calculated from the marks submitted by your high school in support of your application. Entrance scholarships are offered for fall entry only. You may be offered a renewable entrance scholarship provided you are entering Carleton for the first time and have no previous attendance at post secondary educational institutions.
