Indigenous Studies

Indigenous Studies

The Indigenous Studies (INDG) program is an essential part of the academic offerings at the First Nations University of Canada. It offers a Diploma, a Bachelor of Arts (BA), and a Bachelor of Arts Honours, which serve as the Social Science foundation for most degree and certificate programs at the university. Students also have the option to Minor in Indigenous Studies.

The program promotes research and the intellectual exploration of Indigenous peoples, focusing on their cultures, histories, and contemporary situations. It emphasizes Saskatchewan first, followed by Canada, North America, the Western Hemisphere, and the global context, all while complementing the traditional teachings of Elders and knowledge carriers.

With options for in-person, hybrid, and online courses, the Indigenous Studies program prepares students to compete for various career opportunities available to graduates in the Arts. Students can also apply for second-degree programs in fields such as Law, Administration, Education, Fine Arts, Science, and Social Work, or pursue honours and graduate studies in the Social Sciences or Humanities.
