These knowledges may be disseminated through various forms, such as oral and written communication, existing recordings of Elders or Knowledge Holders, ceremonies, languages, social and political systems, performative traditions, food systems as well as other expressions of Indigenous knowledges not named above. This theme includes scholarship that addresses Indigenous Knowledges, comprising of relationships to lands, waters and Indigenous cosmologies and cultures. The focus is on Indigenous knowledges as they are expressed by Elders and Knowledges Holders (Primarily Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee but with some inclusion of other Indigenous Nations). While the program has done its best to provide engagement with the 70 required readings over the first year and a half of the program, students are ultimately responsible for ensuring they have engaged with the 70 required sources and are prepared to take the exam at the scheduled time (January) in their second year in the program. The remainder is covered in the core comprehensive preparation course (6720H). The required readings are spread across four themes and some have been incorporated into first-year courses. Seventy of the sources are required reading for all students. Core comprehensive readings are divided into a 70/30 split. The core comprehensive bibliography is a list of the 100 sources that students are expected to know comprehensively before sitting for their comprehensive examination.
