Treaties in Troubling Times: Old Frameworks for New Futures

Join us for a critical conversation on Treaties as we celebrate the release of the new book Talk Treaty To Me.
About this Event

In a Canada pre-occupied with resource development, separatism, American encroachment, and anti-immigration sentiments, treaties - the laws that should inform the core of these conversations- are obscured. In this discussion, Crystal Fraser, Sara Komarnisky, Gina Starblanket, and Hayden King will discuss: how do treaties provide a framework for new futures and why are these frameworks especially critical today as we face uncertain times?

This Yellowhead Fire celebrates the recent publication of Crystal Fraser and Sara Komarnisky’s book, “Talk Treaty To Me: Understanding the Basics of Treaties and Land in Canada”.
