Welcome to the course in Indigenous Texts in English

We are delighted to have the opportinuty to study texts in English of and about Indigenous peoples with you.

This course aims at exploring topical and relevant issues in indigenous cultures today. Further, we will discuss how texts written by and about Indigenous peoples can serve to promote awareness and sensitivity. None of us teaching the course have indigenous backgrounds. But then again, very few teachers in this country have. We see this as a learning opportunity for us all, where the texts we study can serve to identify some common or unifying factors in certain indigenous cultures, while at the same time celebrating the richness and uniqueness of each culture.

We look forward to meeting you all very soon.

Best wishes
