Drawing on the urgent Idle No More Indigenous Movement, this one-day symposium brings together Indigenous and non-Indigenous administrators, faculty and graduate students from a wide variety of disciplines and units to showcase the work of non-Indigenous scholars undertaking work in Indigeneity and make transparent and seriously engage the politics of such work. The complex and difficult problematic/issue of the confluence of identity and representation and ally politics is a particular focus.
Welcome: Elder Larry Grant.
Opening Plenary Panel: Blye Frank, Dean of Education, and Jo-ann Archibald, Associate Dean of Indigenous Education.
Closing Plenary Panel: Anna Kindler, Vice Provost, Academic, and Linc Kesler, Senior Advisor to President on Aboriginal Affairs.
