Nov. 30:
DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY & THE INDIGENOUS NATIONHOOD GRAD CERTIFICATE PROGRAM
are pleased to present
Candidate for the Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Nationhood
Storied Lands, Sovereign Peoples: Indigenous Landscapes of Belonging
Dr. Jean O’Brien
Distinguished McKnight University Professor
Department of History, University of Minnesota
Friday, November 30th, 2018
11:30 am – 1:00 pm
First Peoples House – Ceremonial Hall
Indigenous sovereignty is anchored in notions of place... and belonging that center survival even under the most violent regimes of settler colonialism. In this talk, Jean O’Brien narrates Indigenous relationships to the land across the northeastern woodlands of New England and into the western Great Lakes in order to analyze how Indigenous peoples have creatively resisted their displacement and asserted their self-determination even while the state has always held an enormous stake in Indigenous disappearance. She traces the themes of place and belonging as central to the defense of Indigenous homelands and historical narratives about their self-determined lives in her past scholarship as well as her current and future research agendas.
EVERYONE WELCOME.

Nov. 30:
Café Simpatico presents...
The Zapatista Movement in Chiapas
“¡Zapata vive, la lucha sigue!”
(Zapata lives, the struggle continues!)
In 1994, the day the NAFTA agreement became operational, threatening the survival of Mexican campesinos, the Zapatista National Liberation Army staged a 12-day-long uprising. Mexican society shook to its core.
After 24 years of resistance, the Zapatistas remain well organized and continue to protect their Indigenous culture, their right to land and their autonomy.
Presented by Gabriela Wieland McBee, University of Victoria, Professor in Humanities and Hispanic & Italian Studies.
Music by:
Héctor Vázquez, classical musician from Mexico and PhD candidate at UVic.
