Topic: Indigenous Political Movements in BC

with Sarah A. Nickel
Webinar Date: March 11, 2021 / 12-1pm PT
We’re excited to hear Sarah share insights into the evolution of Indigenous political movements, the concept of unity in politics, and gendered political expressions from her award-winning book “Assembling Unity “. Sarah’s work unsettles dominant Western and patriarchal political ideals that cast Indigenous men as reactive and Indigenous women as invisible and apolitical.
