Course Description

The main pillars of this course are Indigenous languages and laws, principles and ethics, governance and sovereignty, and methodologies and practices as they pertain to Indigenous fisheries and aquatic ecosystems and, critically, their care and maintenance in the truly long term.

This course creates an opportunity for network-building and co-learning across the province of so-called British Columbia and beyond. Students can enrol as graduate students (FISH 506i / EOSC 448) and undergraduate or non-degree seeking students, and we welcome registrants from and beyond UBC. Admission to this course is by application (linked here once posted each year), and given our focus and intentions for this course, priority access is given to BC First Nations.

The curriculum and assignments centre community interests and priorities. The course is taught by Dr. Andrea Reid (Nisg̱a’a Nation) and Dr. Kii’iljuus (Barbara Wilson) (Haida Nation), and features guests and knowledge holders (leaders, scientists, and community members.
