Introduction to Indigenous Peoples’ cultures

Gain insight, knowledge and skills to better understand the perspectives of Indigenous students as they navigate through the CPA profession and education in accounting and finance.

More Indigenous CPAs are needed to support the growth of Indigenous economies across Canada.

This introductory course provides you with insight into the history of First Nations, Métis and Inuit Peoples; an understanding of the devastation of colonialism on Indigenous communities and economies from an Indigenous perspective and how it is critical to reconciliation; and how culturally sensitive health care models help inform how accounting and finance education can be inclusive and supportive.

This course was developed to provide the writers and facilitators of CPA education programs, cases and examinations with insight, knowledge and skills to better understand the perspectives of Indigenous students, to help support their success. It will provide all learners with a valuable introduction into the deep cultural and historical foundations upon which the future prosperity of Indigenous communities must be built.
