Program

First Nations Studies is an interdisciplinary program based in the Faculty
of Social Science.  The program crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries
to explore the role of First Nations peoples in Canadian society, with
special emphasis on the Hodenosaunee (Iroquoian) and Anishnabwe (Ojibwe,
Delaware, Potawatomi) traditions of southwestern Ontario.  Some courses are
offered within the FNS program.  Others are cross-listed with Social
Science, Arts, Information and Media Studies and the professional schools.
The program engages political, legal, cultural and linguistic perspectives
on the First Nations, insofar as possible through the standpoints and voices
of Aboriginal people.  Both Native and non-Native students are welcomed to
share their perspectives.
Careers

The broad interdisciplinary training of First Nations scholars prepares them
for careers in private, non-profit and government sectors, especially for
employment by Aboriginal organizations and communities.  The program also
provides a sound basis for professional schools, including law, medicine,
health sciences, education, and business.  Students may specialize in
anthropology, history, archaeology, humanities, media, and politics.  New
specializations are being developed in response to student needs.
