Join Kawartha World Issues Centre (KWIC) and Settlers Taking Action and Responsibility at Trent (START) on Wednesday, November 9th at 7pm for a film screening in observation of Treaty Week. Featuring the knowledge of Anne Taylor (Curve Lake Cultural Archivist) as well as Gdigaa Migizi (Elder Doug Williams), this is vital viewing for all settlers to further understand the deep-rooted colonialism so-called Canada is built on.
The film we will be screening is "Inaakonigewin Andaada Aki: Michi Saagig Treaties", by Curve Lake First Nation.
KWIC is a charitable organization that connects global issues to local initiatives. We create opportunities that can change how people understand the world and foster equitable and sustainable communities. We make change happen in three areas: Community Education, Youth and In Schools and Umbrella Support for Small and Emerging Projects.
START is a group of settlers based at Trent University who are committed to decentering settler colonialism, sharing information with other settlers, and amplifying Indigenous voices and perspectives. A partnership between the Kawartha World Issues Centre (KWIC) and the Office of Student Affairs, START hosts bi-weekly discussion groups and events throughout the school year.
