Assignment: Final Project

How does the position of Indigenous Peoples in Canada compare to Indigenous Peoples in another country?

• Choose a specific group of Indigenous Peoples to study.
• Make a point form comparison (you may find that a chart format works well for organization) between the group you are studying and First Nations, Metis or Inuit Peoples in Canada, based upon:
  • Cultural Aspects
    • spirituality and the land
    • oral traditions
    • extended family
    • community
  • Impact of colonialism
  • Common issues (choose two only)
    • land and resources
    • environment
    • language and culture
    • education
    • self-determination
    • health
    • human rights
    • cultural appropriation

Use the information you have gathered to answer the question: Select TWO of the Articles from UNDRIP (for example, Article 9 and 23) and explain how you feel the position of Indigenous Peoples in Canada compare to Indigenous Peoples in the country you have chosen on those two articles?

Present your position as a 2 - 3 page essay. You are expected to provide a written response.

Your assignment will be assessed according to the Assignment rubric.
