WORKSHOP: Re-appropriating Indigenous identity
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1pm
@ QPIRG Concordia – 1500 de Maisonneuve West, #204
part of DISORIENTATION 2012[:]
This presentation looks critically at the uses and misuses of Indigenous imagery, from contact to today. Using a slideshow combined with an oral presentation, topics include negative stereotyping of native people, government and media propaganda against natives, the anti-Indigenous lobby, land rights, and the commodification of Indigenous identity. This workshop debunks past and present cultural appropriation of Indigenous culture and people.
Presented by Clifton Nicholas, a member of the Kanehsatake Mohawk Community.
