Program Description
Learn from the past to inform the future. An effective heritage department can be a tremendous asset to an Indigenous government. Become a member of these teams, and help root the entire government in its past so it can use that knowledge to inform its future. Combining theory and practice, the Heritage and Culture certificate (HCC) prepares students for work in the heritage and culture management field, with a specific focus on Yukon First Nations heritage and culture management. Topics covered in the HCC include: Yukon First Nations history; public administration; archives and collections management; preservation of traditional knowledge; language and culture; anthropology.
