Connexions Calendar

Waterloo Six Nations Solidarity Teach-In


November 12, 2010


Concerned settlers' of Waterloo Region on the Grand River Territory are organizing a teach-in before and after Christie Blatchford speaks about her new book Helpless: Caledonia's Nightmare of Fear and Anarchy and How the Law Failed All of Us at the University of Waterloo. Blatchford's book is very problematic as it dismisses and delegitimizes the history of the Six Nations peoples and Euro-American settlers by focusing only on the neo-conservative concept of law and order. But we are asking whose law and whose order? We are organizing this teach-in to provide the context and historical background that Blatchford negates. We will have a variety of resources available as well so that you may research this on your own and provide you with further avenues for participation.
