NWF Workshop: Studying Indigenous Literatures and Cultures of Turtle Island in Europe – Book of abstracts and programme online

The Emerging Scholars’ Forum of the Association for Canadian Studies in German-Speaking Countries (GKS) is organizing an online workshop titled „Studying Indigenous Literatures and Cultures of Turtle Island in Europe: Questions of Methodology, Positionality, Accountability, and Research Ethics,“ which will take place from May 5 to 6, 2022. During the two-day workshop, a small community of emerging scholars working on these topics will come together to discuss their ongoing research projects with peers and experts. With two introductory speakers (Dr Geneviève Susemihl and Prof Dr Astrid Fellner), two invited speakers (Dr Renae Watchman (Diné & Tsalagi) and Prof Dr Hartmut Lutz), twelve presenters, and a limited number of guests, we hope to create a safe space for scholars to learn with one another how to better engage with Indigenous literatures and cultures from a European perspective.

Because there are limited seats available, however, registration is unfortunately only open to participants and select guests.

Webinar: The Reparation of Reconciliation. Financial Compensation to Indigenous Peoples in Canada

Amerika-Institut LMU Munich & Bavarian American Academy, Munich/Germany

June 21, 2022 / 7 pm CEST (UTC +2)

https://www.facebook.com/events/767897490845336/

(Online)

This event will be streamed live on YouTube: https://youtu.be/PikyyBf8TRQ

Since 1973, the Government of Canada has engaged with Indigenous Peoples in addressing unfulfilled legal obligations, resolving outstanding claims of financial and administrative mismanagement, and compensating First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples for the horrors of Canada’s colonial legacy of assimilation and paternalistic policies.

The history of these reparations towards Indigenous Peoples in Canada has been in a constant state of evolution as governments come to grips with the ongoing impacts of systemic racism, as well as growing awareness amongst the Canadian public. As well as an historical overview of financial compensation to Indigenous Peoples in Canada, this presentation will discuss the three levels, or types, of reparations used in this context: public apologies and compensation, litigation and historic claims.
