ENGL 202 - CANADIAN LITERATURE
I: INDIGENOUS VOICES

From the earliest narratives, Euro Canadian writing
has framed our understanding of indigenous peoples.
We will examine these representations in Canadian
literature alongside the works of indigenous writers
from across Canada. Reading and discussion will
give us an opportunity to understand First People’s
literature, including the response to colonialism, and
to experience the vitality of First People’s cultures,
imaginations, and ways of knowing.
