    About Certificate in Study of Indigenous Storytelling

    The Certificate in the Study of Indigenous Storytelling is an interdisciplinary certificate that recognizes expertise in the study of oral and written forms of Indigenous storytelling in Canada, as well as culturally-specific knowledge systems inherent in storytelling.

    What you will learn

    You will study Indigenous storytelling and literatures from various cultural and disciplinary perspectives. You will also learn about:

    • the history and continuing traditions of Indigenous storytelling through specific cultural examples
    • the systems of knowledge that are inherent in storytelling with an understanding of protocols
    • ways that traditions have been adapted to tell new stories for delivery in new media (stories, poems, plays, books, film etc.)
    • the profound impact of different ways that stories have been told and recorded

    While this is not a certificate in how to be a storyteller, you may be able to explore pathways toward telling your own stories.
