This non-degree program is taught in English and lasts several weeks. Its main advantage is that it helps students develop a deeper understanding of the relationship between the government and Indigenous communities.

The program covers the history of colonization, the creation of Residential Schools, and the ongoing impact of these schools.

They will also learn about the importance of reconciliation and how to promote it.
