A Certificate in Indigenous Literatures in English will allow students to gain a basic grounding in Indigenous works of literature in the English language. This program is open to all students of literature and Indigenous issues to incorporate a vital component towards Indigenization within their studies.
ENGL 100 is considered a prerequisite for all courses that follow, and the section of ENGL 110 that contributes to this certificate should have an approved theme within the broad category of Indigenous Literature. The remaining courses are all specific to Indigenous Literatures.
All sections of ENGL 310AA-ZZ require a theme in North American Indigenous Literatures, and the INDL course (240AA-ZZ, 241 or 242) are courses in traditional literatures of Canadian Indigenous groups in English translation.
The final choice of an additional approved credit may include a second choice from the ENGL 310AA-ZZ series, or another literature course with an Indigenous theme, such as ENGL 384AG, ENGL 440AK, ENGL 475AM, or 485AT.
