GEOG 162 - Canada is about bringing together the past, present, and future of this country's peoples and lands.

A particular focus is exploring Canada鈥檚 decolonial geographies, conceptualizing Canada as a vast geographical expanse, a nation state, a mosaic of First Nations, a patchwork of ecosystems and climatic zones, and a concept that is understood differently depending on who and where you are.

Throughout the course, we view topics under four key themes: unsettling, resistance, resilience and mapping.

You can find more detailed information under Course Content > Introduction, or on the Home page.

Course themes focus on the decolonization of Canada's history.

Canada's history has been, and often still is, taught from the Colonial Settler perspective. The key themes of Unsettling, Resistance, and Resilience allow for a repositioning of the history of Canada, from the perspective of Canadian First Nations.

Unsettling focuses on the removal of traditional First Nations lands, resources, and cultural practices by settlers on arrival and spread throughout Canada.

Resistance focuses on First Nations continued survival under settler rules, either by peaceful or assertive protests and actions (such as blockades).

Resilience looks at how First Nations have kept traditions, language, and culture alive through centuries of settler oppression.

Mapping is both about how maps are used as a tool of power in a colonial context, but also about how the environment and landscape has changed from the time of settlement to current date. There is also a focus on the environment and global changes within this theme.

You can find more detailed information on each theme under the Course Content > Themes page.

While there are many different reasons to choose this course, some reasons are:

-teaching us to think critically about the unsettling (colonization) of Canada during its creation as a nation state

-giving context for some of the complex issues that underlie Canada as a nation, and what it really means to be a Canadian

-an example of SFU's commitment to Truth and Reconcilliation and a showcase of some of the things involved in that process

-a connection or springboard into Indigenous Studies at SFU in areas such as Ethnobotany or Ethnoecology

-a prerequisite for GEOG 264 - Canadian Cities

-a potential prerequisite for GEOG 267 - Introduction to Indigenous Land-Based Knowledge and Place-Based Relationships
