Rather than offering a single roadmap or solution, Starblanket and Stark ask thoughtful questions to stimulate deeper thinking:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How do power and knowledge shape our relationships?<\/li>\n<li>How are gendered responsibilities unevenly carried?<\/li>\n<li>What happens when land is treated as property rather than a living relation?<\/li>\n<li>And how might Indigenous teachings help us move beyond rigid divides between \u201ctradition\u201d and \u201cmodernity\u201d?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This conversation is an invitation for all citizens of Turtle Island to reflect on treaties not as historical artifacts, but as ongoing relationships that call for humility, reciprocity, and action. Grounded in Indigenous political thought and lived realities, this session offers space to listen, learn, and reconsider how resurgence and reconciliation are woven together in practice.<\/p>\n<p>Join us for an evening of insight, reflection, and shared responsibility as we explore what it means to build just futures through relationship with one another and the Land.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/virl.zoom.us\/webinar\/register\/WN_Vc_bGC4RRLmylAQ05jQvhg\">Register Now<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Use the code Resurgence2026 to get 20% off your purchase through University of Toronto Press, plus, get free shipping on orders over $40<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"book-details\">\n<div class=\"cover book-item\" style=\"width: 265px; float: left;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/trc57speakerseries.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/resurgence-reconcilation-bcover.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"book-info book-item\">\n<div class=\"title\">Resurgence and Reconciliation: Indigenous\u2013Settler Relations and Earth Teachings<\/div>\n<p>Edited by Michael Asch, John Borrows and James Tully<\/p>\n<div class=\"purchase\"><a class=\"button purchase\" href=\"https:\/\/utppublishing.com\/doi\/book\/10.3138\/9781487523275\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Buy a Copy<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"borrow\"><a class=\"button borrow\" href=\"https:\/\/search.virl.bc.ca\/search\/card?id=4250dc8b-3ef9-58de-b649-ecd8b9c47799&amp;entityType=FormatGroup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Borrow a Copy<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-lg-4 col-md-4 about-bg\">\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-654\" style=\"width: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/trc57speakerseries.ca\/sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Starblanket-web.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"179\" height=\"179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trc57speakerseries.ca\/sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Starblanket-web.jpg 356w, https:\/\/trc57speakerseries.ca\/sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Starblanket-web-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/trc57speakerseries.ca\/sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Starblanket-web-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 179px) 100vw, 179px\" \/>Dr. Gina Starblanket<\/strong> is an Associate Professor in the School of Indigenous Governance at the University of Victoria.
