A Call to Action

Marc Kruse will lead a talk on Truth and Reconciliation Call to Action #45 can help re-establish a nation to nation relationship between Indigenous peoples and the crown. Kruse will explain how the treaty of Niagara led to the formation of Canada, ending with an argument why this history should be part of our civics education.

If you're not able to attend in-person, a virtual component will be set up via Zoom Webinar to livestream this session.
