Indigenous Canada – free course

On Sept 30th, Canada will be honouring The National Day for Truth & Reconciliation. This is a free course hosted by the University of Alberta.

Indigenous Canada is a 12-lesson Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) from the Faculty of Native Studies that explores Indigenous histories and contemporary issues in Canada. From an Indigenous perspective, this course explores key issues facing Indigenous peoples today from a historical and critical perspective highlighting national and local Indigenous-settler relations. Topics for the 12 lessons include the fur trade and other exchange relationships, land claims and environmental impacts, legal systems and rights, political conflicts and alliances, Indigenous political activism, and contemporary Indigenous life, art and its expressions.

Mark your calendars and set reminders in your phones, we will have just one single service this Sunday, June 4th beginning at 10:00 am.

We encourage all of you to stay afterwards for a church-wide social outside in the parking lot. We will have food trucks on-site serving lunch. It is also a wonderful opportunity to meet new faces and create new friendships.

We hope to see you there!
