What is hidden under and by misrepresentation, manipulation of media and outright lies, will be uncovered in a humorous, non-threatening approach in this course. Topics of the course will be led by the topics of The Inconvenient Indian as Thomas King has presented an insight into the Lived experience of most First Nations (Aboriginal, Indians) Inuit, and Metis people of the Americas. We will be guided by King's "fascinating, often hilarious, always devastatingly truthful, historical narrative" (Joseph Boyden) to better understand why the global Idle No More movement came to be. In addition, students will hear speakers, intensely related to the idleNoMore movement and some of the issues raised. Students will participate in sharing circles, discussions and speakers.
