ABSTRACT

This chapter examines the syllabi of other disciplines and subjects such as International Relations, Environmental Engineering and Studies, Economics, Community Development and Human Rights. Still, the "subject" of International Development is a popular area of study in Canada; with at least 15 similar Master's Degrees and at least 17 Bachelor's degrees in Canada. Canada, along with other settler-colonial nations such as the United States, New Zealand and Australia, was not an original signatory of the Universal Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Settler-colonialism as a reality is nothing new. Indigenous scholars have "created" the field of settler-colonial studies. Settler-colonialism is increasingly theorized as a naturalized and normalized structure of constant occupation that is replicated and supported at all levels of a society in the present, the whole structure taking place within the realm of modernity. Settler-colonial analysis and critical Indigenous studies invite us to push beyond anti-imperial and post-colonial critiques of development and globalization.
