This subject is an invitation to critically engage in the discussion of divergent worldviews in relation to ' Indigenous knowledges ' and the way western academic frameworks produce and legitimatize knowledge. Attention is drawn to some of the contradictions and contestations in affirming the place of Indigenous knowledges in western ' traditions ' . This subject interrogates the notions of tradition, authenticity, and assertion of Indigenous identity as crucial to the educational and political project of affirming Indigenous knowledges. It further explores the issue of cultural ownership and Indigenous views of landscape and wilderness. Students will be introduced to issues and notions through online learning including the discussion board and e-mail, digital medium and reading materials. Therefore it is essential that students have access to the World Wide Web to complete this subject, students who do not have access to e-mail must notify the subject coordinator. Subject is offered in external mode to students who have previously completed IA2007 or IA3007 and must be negotiated with the Subject Coordinator.
