Throughout this semester you have been expected to monitor and reflect on the knowledge you are gaining at various points. As we come to the end of the course, this assignment involves a critical evaluation of the impact colonialism has had on the neurological development, epigenetic expression, and experience of generational trauma of the Indigenous Peoples of Canada.
Instructions
