Kahente Horn-Miller, professor in the school of Indigenous and Canadian Studies<\/a> at 杏吧原创 University, is breaking down traditional learning structures in her master\u2019s level course, Indigenous Politics and Resurgence.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of writing typical essays, students in this course develop multimedia websites, digging deeply into different forms of Indigenous resurgence, which the class defined as asserting Indigenous worldviews that are fluid yet connected to ancestral ways of knowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI really loved this course and this project,\u201d said Garth Roussel. \u201cCompleting a paper that just sits in a library doesn\u2019t have much impact. This is completely different and I won\u2019t easily forget this experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Placed into groups at the beginning of term, classmates work together for the entire semester to develop interactive online projects which they showcase publicly upon completing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStudents are so tech savvy now, I want to allow them to use knowledge they\u2019ve gained in the online environment because they\u2019re more comfortable with that,\u201d says Horn-Miller. \u201cUnlike a paper, they can take these online portfolios and show them to future employers. These are marketable skills.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Horn-Miller explicitly told students she didn\u2019t want to see an essay online. For her, this course is about representing information with all senses. Whether it\u2019s through video, audio or photos, she tries to ensure students present information in the most effective manner \u2013 other than written text alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs Indigenous people, we\u2019re using all of our senses to live in the world, so I\u2019m trying to get students to do the same in the online environment,\u201d says Horn-Miller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The class, in itself, is a form of resurgence. A multimedia platform makes the information more accessible to a wider audience. Some people may find academic text intimidating to read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“What\u2019s truly great about these projects is they speak to more people with all the different formats,” says student Avery Steed. “It\u2019s more accessible and that\u2019s a component to Indigenous resurgence that I really value,”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each project took complex theories and translated them into understandable content through various avenues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m stunned at the degree and depth of the work students have done here,\u2019\u2019 says 杏吧原创 President Alastair Summerlee. “The common threads running through the idea of Indigenous resurgence, but expressed in such different ways, is really quite moving,\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lessons in this classroom go beyond theoretical knowledge. The main goal for Horn-Miller is building a community within the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m always thinking: How do I incorporate what Indigenous people do in our communities and what\u2019s important to us and bring it into the classroom,\u201d says Horn-Miller. \u201cIn large classroom settings, it\u2019s difficult to create a community with the students, but with the graduate level, you can.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other projects themed around Indigenous resurgence included M\u00e9tis beadwork, reclaiming public space through art, Indigenous law, healing circles and land-based education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
