The Indigenous Justice Studies (IJS) prioritizes Indigenous laws and Indigenous Peoples while exploring topics related to crime and deviance, the criminal justice system, and the role of colonial law. Courses critically examine the various responsibilities of a system that strives to ensure safety and protection while learning about the oppression experienced by Indigenous Peoples and the role of Indigenous cultural approaches to healing from the impacts of genocide. What sets our program apart is the emphasis on applying this knowledge in real-world settings and culturally authentic teachings. We also emphasize Indigenous adult educational teaching methodology, experimental learning, and practical application of academic knowledge. The IJS practicum placement allows students to gain experience working with agencies and organizations related to criminal and social justice.
