- April 2021: The University of Sudbury created the third department of Indigenous studies in Canada during the mid-1970s. The program was among those cut by Laurentian University in April 2021.[5]
- April 2021: The program at Laurentian University requires students to take six credits in either Cree or Anishnaabemwin. Faculty members were reportedly not consulted about which courses would be offered during the 2021 spring session. The program was effectively dismantled following the actions of Laurentian University regarding its federated partners.[6]
- May 2021: The discipline has evolved across Canada over the last three decades to include areas like Indigenous Healing and Wellness. As of May 2021, the program includes a four-year Bachelor of Arts degree. Developing these courses for distance learning is a responsibility that requires full-time faculty rather than sessional members.[7]

- October 2021: The University of Sudbury transferred its intellectual property for online Indigenous Studies courses to Kenjgewin Teg in 2021.[9]
- December 2021: New courses in this field will cover topics such as sustainability practices related to water and Indigenous theatre. Kenjgewin Teg is expanding its partnership delivery for this subject with various educational institutions.[10]
- January 2022: Kenjgewin Teg is using a gift of 50+ courses from the University of Sudbury to build a stand-alone program in this field. The program focuses on Anishinaabemowin, land-based learning, governance, community development, and reconciliation.[11]
