Part 1: Frontlines of Indigenous-Led Movements ~ Presentations & Panel Discussion

5:30 - 7PM, William Doo Auditorium. Doors open at 5PM!

Indigenous-led and allied movements are fighting for a more just future for all life, working to hold a frontline most of us will never see, in defence of the lands and waters we all depend on locally and globally. 

Bringing together diverse movements connected by their resistance of the ongoing colonial project, this event features Indigenous and allied voices who will explore the changing frontlines of social and environmental activism. Speakers include Eve Saint (8th Fire Rising), Ramon Kataquapit (Okiniwak), members of Atelie Mukambu (Brazil), and Grassy Narrows Solidarity.

How are we all connected to these struggles? How does Canada empower harm and what role do we have in changing its course? What are frontline and allied leaders seeing that we can learn from? Where is the road of solidarity taking us? Let's dive in to learn and explore together.
