Indigenous peoples, once thought to inevitably disappear, have become a force within Canada. The recent election of the first Indigenous Premier in Winnipeg stands as a powerful example of this resurgence. In this seminar, the contributors to the BJCS upcoming special issue will discuss their contributions to 'Indigenous People and Canada’ sharing their research across topics relating to politics, history, poetry, and archeology and how they negotiate working in an area where one must always be mindful of the ongoing impacts of settler colonialism on Indigenous peoples in Canada. This seminar promises to be a lively discussion about a broad range of topics as well as the challenges of working in the area of Indigenous studies.
The event will be chaired by Patrick Holdich (Honorary Research Fellow, UCL Institute of the Americas) and will include a Q & A with the online audience once the presentations have been made.
