Conversation Café:  A Métis Journey through Religion to Relations  

When: Tuesday, Nov 24, 2020

Time: 2:00-3:00

Where: Zoom

Come and reflect on one of the most important topics in Canada: indigenous–settler relations. To learn more about how Settler colonialism has interfered with and dispossessed Indigenous relations, let’s listen to our guest’s story and hear his personal and professional journey in understanding Métis relations and identity through understanding religion. 

Dr. Paul L. Gareau is Métis from Bellevue in the Batoche area and is an assistant professor in the Faculty of Native Studies at the University of Alberta. He is the academic lead for the Indigenous Canada Massive Open Online Course (MOOC). 

If you are interested in knowing more about Indigenous issues, if you are taking the Indigenous Canada on-line course, or if you live or going to live in Canada, this event is for you!
