Dr. Leo Baskatawang will discuss why the Anishinaabe Nation in Treaty #3 is codifying its own education law, how an Anishinaabe education system might differ from Canada’s public education system, and what Canadian governments must do to recognize and affirm localized Indigenous laws in the spirit of reconciliation.

Our events aim to embody a safe space for everyone of all different backgrounds to have their opinions and voices equally heard.
