Indigenous Perspectives on Reconciliation
Workshops with Dr. Niigaan James Sinclair
We live in an age of Truth and Reconciliation, a time when bodies like the 1966 Hawthorne Report, the 1996 Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples, and the 2015 Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) are waking Canadians up to Canada's 150-year dysfunctional relationship with Indigenous peoples. We may have Truth, but Reconciliation is the hard part. What Reconciliation looks like, feels like, and how this is embodied in policy and law may be confusing, controversial, and challenge truths widely held in the country.
In this three-part series, join award-winning educator and writer Dr. Niigaan Sinclair in an analysis of Canadian identity, education, law and land, and help forge paths of reconciliation via the "calls to action" in the 2015 TRC final report.

Fighting for freedom in Russia
President's Lecture Series with Russian dissident Vladimir Kara-Murza
"However strong the dictatorship, when people are prepared to stand up for their freedom, all that strength becomes powerless." - Vladimir Kara-Murza
One of Russia's most outspoken advocates for democracy and human rights, Vladimir Kara-Murza has been on the front lines of opposition to President Vladimir Putin. Twice poisoned in the past three years, Kara-Murza is unswayed from the fight for freedom and democracy. He was a pallbearer at the September 1 funeral of U.S. Senator John McCain in Washington DC.
In this lecture, he will explore how Russians can bring about democratic change and how the West can best help. His talk will be followed by a discussion with Museum President and CEO John Young and a public question-and-answer session.
Light refreshments will be served.
October 30 | 6:30 to 9:00pm | Bonnie & John Buhler Hall
