From Treaty Peoples to Treaty Nation: The Federal Election and the Future of Aboriginal Relations in Canada

Speaker: Dr. Greg Poezler Professor, Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy Department of Political Studies, College of Arts and Science Executive Chair of the International Centre for Northern Governance and Development, University of Saskatchewan, and Fulbright Arctic Initiative Scholar Staff from the University of Regina Bookstore will be on hand and have copies of Dr. Poelzer’s co-authored book from UBC Press: From Treaty Peoples to Treaty Nation A Road Map for All Canadians Greg Poelzer and Ken S. Coates Book excerpt: “There are plenty of good, thoughtful, and creative solutions to the political challenges facing Aboriginal people in Canada. Most of these ideas operate at the level of ideals and political philosophy and are not yet grounded or tested in practice. At present, they represent idealized and diverse notions of what Canada could be. All agree that the issue is of great national importance. All agree that the status quo is not viable. All agree that major changes are in order, even as they disagree profoundly about what those changes should be. A merging of political ideals with practical realities could accomplish much.” More information: http://www.uregina.ca/arts/economics
