In Understanding Media, Marshall McLuhan wrote about comic books and called for further exploration of the medium’s expression of cultural change. This article takes up McLuhan’s call in the context of teaching and learning with Indigenous-centred comic books. Linking theories from media ecology, communication studies and cultural studies with Indigenous and decolonizing pedagogies, the article provides teaching and learning strategies, suggested readings, and assignments and activities for centring Indigenous perspectives and diversifying representation in the media ecology classroom. Readings and activities are on the topic of repatriating Indigenous remains and cultural objects, but the structure of the assignments can accommodate any number of topics.
