History of Indian-White Relations) the following Nations with their tribal
subgroups will be discussed: Beothuk, Micmac, Maliseet-Passamaquoddy,
Western Abenaki, Iroquois, Khionontateronon, Chippewa-Ojibwa, Ottawa,
Nipissing, and Algonquin.

Further topics of the course are:

·         Canadian, French and British Indian Policy (e.g. Indian Act, Jay
Treaty)

·         Survival and Revival (e.g. residential schools, Indian gaming)

·         Native languages
