Stop Canada's cultural genocide at Barriere Lake and workshop
November 01, 2010 to November 02, 2010
Do Canada's apologies for residential schools and other injustices against Aboriginal Peoples mean anything, or is Canada simply following the same policies of termination and assimilation it has pursued since the 1800s? Come find out, and hear the remarkable story of the strength of the Algonquins of Barriere Lake first hand.
And on Tuesday.....
WHAT: Workshop
WHEN: Tuesday, November 2 at 10:00am
WHERE: First Nations House, 563 Spadina Avenue
To follow up on Monday's forum, Barriere Lake Solidarity and OPIRG will host a workshop for those who are interested in learning more and getting involved. This is a great opportunity to hear the history of the Barriere Lake Algonquins' struggle to defend their traditional, unceded territory; to gain an understanding of the Indian Act and how it functions as a legislative tool for repression and assimilation; and to learn how you can become involved in the campaign to rescind Section 74
Time: 7:00pm, 10:00am
Venue: Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE)
Location: 252 Bloor St West, Rm. 5280 Toronto, ON
