Topic:We Are All Treaty People

with Harold Johnson
Webinar Date: February 10, 2021 / 1-2 pm PT
Harold Johnson is a wonderful storyteller and we are excited to have him as one of our series speakers sharing his eloquent view, on behalf of a people, on what treaties between First Nations and governments represent. Topics will include the justice system, reconciliation of laws, political divisions, resources, taxation, assimilation, leadership, sovereignty, the Constitution, youth, and relations between next generations.

“Kiciwamanawak, my cousin: that is what my Elders said to call you. You have a treaty right to occupy and use this territory. You received that right when my family adopted yours.”
