Pîkiskwêtân, the Indigenous Learning Series, is a continuous series of decolonizing and anti-racist Indigenous awareness training and professional development workshops. The series is open to Concordia staff, faculty and students.
Fibbie Tatti is one of Concordia’s 2020 honorary degree recipients. She is recognized for preserving and promoting Indigenous languages and culture. Join us on Monday, October 24th, to listen to Ms. Tatti facilitate a webinar for the Pîkiskwêtân Learning Series.
This webinar will focus on the Aboriginal and Treaty Rights movement of the Dene of the Northwest Territories over the past fifty years. In addition to land rights and the inherent right to self-government, Dene languages, education, culture and spirituality will figure prominently. Ms Tatti will speak to her own personal life experiences and her participation in the Dene rights movement during this period. She will also speak about the traditional lands and waters of her people, the Sahtu Gotine of the Great Bear Lake Region and how their language and identity is shaped and defined by their lands and waters.
