Reconciliation: Re-Membering Creator's First Sacred Pipe
2:00 PM on Saturday Oct. 27th, 2018
Alexander Community Centre, 960 Silver St, Ottawa, ON
Price: $22.00

This Speaking Panel will take place on Saturday, October 27th at the Alexander Community Centre at 960 Silver St. between 2 to 5 pm. It is organized by Free the Falls and Lynn Gehl.

A Panel Discussion with Albert Dumont, Lynn Gehl, Randy Boswell, and Lindsay Lambert

This panel discussion brings together respected Algonquin practitioner Albert Dumont; Algonquin intellectual Lynn Gehl; settler ally historian Lindsay Lambert; and professor of journalism Randy Boswell to discuss and uncover how it is that an Indigenous sacred water and landscape, specifically Akikpautik / Akikodjiwan, located in Canada’s Capital Region just upstream from Canada’s parliament continues to be subjugated by colonial power and corporate greed.

Collectively this panel will explore, discuss, and uncover how this is happening within the context of the Liberal government’s political platform and rhetoric of “nation to nation” and “reconciliation”.

I've attached as well the letter by Lindsay Lambert: Dear Canada - Will you recognize Algonquin land rights before your 150th birthday next year? written in 2016 and which is still pertinent today, as background information.
