In this talk, I explore some of the challenges that arise with efforts towards Indigenizing the academy. This talk examines the primary ways in which the academy will and will not engage Indigenous knowledge. I also speak to my experiences as an Indigenous woman working in the academy the university context with attention to the disproportionate labour and increased demands faced by Indigenous scholars, especially women, best practices surrounding hiring and tenure considerations, and the unique opportunities and rewards that expanded Indigenous programming can bring to the academy.

The St. Jerome’s Centre lecture by Heidi Kiiwetinepinesiik Stark

Sacred Inheritance: Accounting for all Our Relations in Treaties

Friday, November 16, 2018, 7:30 p.m.
Vanstone Lecture Hall, St. Jerome's University Academic Centre

What are our relationships and responsibilities to one another? How do we reconcile our differences and find ways forward to live together sustainably? The Anishinaabeg have long considered these questions. This talk details how, in bringing the Crown into a treaty relationship, Anishinaabe leaders detailed their understanding of creation and relationship to the Creator. They used treaty forums to instruct newcomers how to live with creation and how to understand the legal web of relationships they would be entering into that carried duties and responsibilities to creation. As such, the United States and Canada are always animated and conditioned by the laws of creation and the laws of the Anishinaabeg outlined in the treaty relationships that enabled them to live here, accounting for all our relations.

Complimentary parking - accessible - refreshments served prior to the lecture.
