CSMO253 Indigenous Studies

The paper must be double-spaced, use APA citations and should include your own commentary on what you have learned. In this sense it is not a traditional research paper as you will be weaving in your own thoughts, experiences and understanding of the topic chosen. You can include drawings, poetry and other forms of knowledge but this should be in addition to the minimum of 5 written pages. You are encouraged to incorporate Indigenous voices in your research, and this may include Youtube recordings, personal connections or traditional stories. Please refer to the how to cite Indigenous knowledge section of Moodle. 

Plagiarism will not be tolerated nor will the submission of a paper used in another course. Any students caught doing the above will receive a grade of 0 for the course and will be reported to the appropriate persons. Please ensure to use APA citations both in the body of your work and for your reference page.
