Module 1 – Post 3 – Indigenous Cultures and Globalization

http://etec.ctlt.ubc.ca/510wiki/Indigenous_Cultures_and_Globalization

This wiki article is from UBC’s own ETEC510 wiki. It has been contributed to by five students since 2008, and provides up-to-date information in an easily accessible style on colonization, residential schools, self-determination, preservation of language and culture, effects of technology and globalization, and more. I found the writing balanced and well-informed. Visitors to this article can use it in two ways – as a source in itself, and as a signpost leading to other sources. Dr. Marker and Heather McGregor are quoted, and the reference list also includes twenty other scholarly sources related to the issues in module 1. In addition, there are hyperlinks to other articles on related topics such as indigenous knowledge, Aboriginal schools, government publications, etc. This is an excellent starting point for research in this course, regardless of your specific focus.
