Indigenous Existential Resistance: The Sundance Practice: July 3rd to July 15th, 2018
Indigenous people face a difficult paradox related to the two challenges of surviving within individualist, competitive and consumerist societies while keeping alive alternative ways of knowing and being within them. The Sundance is one of the practices that affirms a different existential approach to life not defined by modern global capitalism.
This course combines lectures and seminars at UBC in Vancouver and a ten-day land-based experience in Southern Alberta, which includes a four-day observation of a Sundance ceremony.
