Presentation

In the second of the 2018 CBC Massey lectures, Tanya Talaga addresses the issue of land.  She argues that one of tools of colonisation, namely the forced severing of Indigenous people from their land, has had a devastating effect on Indigenous people’s sense of identity.

Discussion

Following the presentation, everyone will have the opportunity to participate in an open and gently moderated dialog.  For each of the 6 sessions in our discussion series, our hope is that the participants will:

• Understand, in greater depth, the issues facing our society
• Experience how a healthy and respectful dialog, amongst diverse people, in our local community, is a powerful antidote to divisive rhetoric
• Identify available paths of action, for bringing about meaningful and positive change
