The Contemporary First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Issues and Perspectives (NDA 3M) course is designed to engage students in an interdisciplinary exploration of the histories, cultures, languages, traditions, and perspectives of Indigenous peoples in Canada, and of Canada’s relationship over time with the Indigenous peoples of this land. Using various research and inquiry processes and other critical approaches, students will investigate the current realities, contributions, and aspirations of Indigenous peoples in Canada, as well as related assumptions and misconceptions.

St. Pius X students are welcome to explore contemporary issues through an Indigenous lens in a safe space! Students enrolled in NDA 3M can expect to engage with Indigenous voices and perspectives through field trips, guest speakers, experiential learning opportunities and eye opening inquiry!
