Indigenous Resistance in Canada: A public forum with Gord Hill and Amanda Lickers
Monday May 27th, 7pm
Leacock Building (855 Sherbrooke West), room 232
Historical and Current Struggles by Indigenous Peoples in the Nation-State of Canada, presented by Gord Hill
Far from being "idle," Indigenous peoples in Canada have a rich history of anti-colonial resistance that continues to this day. This presentation will include a history of Indigenous anti-colonial resistance in the Americas and current struggles being waged by Native peoples, with a focus on those occurring in Canada as well as the province of 'British Columbia' (including anti-pipelines, missing/murdered women, the 1876 Indian Act, treaties, Idle No More, etc.).
We will discuss also the links that can exist between these anticolonial struggles initiated and led by indigenous peoples and the actual and possible involvement of non-indigenous peoples. How non-indigenous peoples can be struggling in solidarity with the anticolonial indigenous peoples and what are the positive and negative aspects of this involvement ? We will also adress the relation between these struggles and other systemic battles against all forms of oppression.
The Urban Forest: Community Well-being Talking Circle
Tuesday, May 28th, 5:00pm until 7:15pm
We will be co-hosting a talking circle about Montreal community life at le Milieu (1251 Rue Robin, métro Beaudry)
Suggested topic: Parks, food, and urban agriculture. Is there enough green in our neighbourhood, is it easy to eat hyper-local?
Although talking circles are simple, they must be experienced. One cannot get a sense of how it feels to be in a circle from hearing it described. Circles work like normal conversation except that we pass an object to show whose turn it is to speak. Whoever has the object can pass, wait, or speak, and everyone is to listen.
The question of community can be a painful one. Almost everyone we know senses a lack of fulfilling community in Montreal. This is something we all need fulfilled. We can talk about anything - we generally bring a suggested topic.
If you're coming, coming at 5pm would be very much appreciated. We end organically according to everyone's needs. If you have any questions, please feel free! Last time everyone was passively bilingual and we all spoke in English or French depending on our preference.
May Swap!
Tuesday, May 28th, 7:00pm until 9:00pm
