Students continue to develop skills in close critical reading comprehension and written composition through evaluation of the contemporary application of narrative structure that shapes the literature of Indigenous cultures. Students critically and creatively explore Indigenous experiences through narrative structure, including local Secwepemc narratives, oral culture, and relationships between land and identity. They investigate and interpret modern and contemporary poetry, drama, short stories, novels, and essays, relating principles of Indigenous knowledges and ways. Students also critically and personally reflect on and articulate the complexities and multiplicities of Indigenous writing and the Indigenous experience of systemic marginalization, discrimination, and cultural oppression within Canada. Students explore a topic, using scholarly writing that illustrates grammatically-correct style and appropriate documentation skills.
Prerequisite: 6 credits of first-year English (with the exception of ENGL 1150) or equivalent OR permission of instructor or department Chair.
