value collaboration over competition, with the common good in mind?
value the importance of community and intergenerational relations in Indigenous cultures?

understand why there are calls to action?
become aware of the effects of residential schools on Indigenous peoples?
be exposed to non-stereotyped resources of Indigenous peoples?
live in balance and maintain peaceful relationships with self, others and the natural world?
develop an informed and well-founded view of historical and contemporary issues concerning Indigenous peoples?
