Dear Friends of SJS,

Wednesday, March 27:

Whose Land Is It?

Rethinking Sovereignty in ‘British Columbia’

With Nicholas XEMŦOLTW̱ Claxton and John Price

12 Noon, Wednesday, March 27, Room 160

First Peoples House, University of Victoria

(Refreshment to follow)

Be it in court cases such as Tsilhqo’tin, or occupations by the Unist’ot’en and Gidumt’en, First Nations in this province are constantly challenging settler colonialism’s control of the land. In this talk, Professors Nicholas XEMŦOLTW̱ Claxton (CYC) and John Price (History) suggest that First Nations’ tenacity in their attachment to the land derives from a fundamental belief in Indigenous sovereignty that is incompatible with Crown sovereignty. This is particularly true in BC where the government totally repudiated treaties for... over 130 years and where Crown sovereignty is based on the Treaty of Oregon, itself a product of the notorious Doctrine of Discovery. Is there a way forward?
