Guest Speaker
Lynn Gehl Ph.D, Anishinaabe Algonquin Advocate, Academic, Author & Artist
Details
This year marks the 200th anniversary of the start of the Rideau Canal and Bytown -- but how did this impact the Algonquin people, for whom the Ottawa Valley has been home for millennia?
Dr. Gehl makes the case that, two centuries later, we have yet to resolve crucial issues such as that our nation’s capital – the “heart of Canada” – continues to trespass on the traditional and unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabeg and that the violation of Algonquin rights continues.
A Special Bytown200 Presentation.
Admission is free. All are welcome to attend.
