The reading for the study group on Sunday, Dec. 13 will focus on treaties
between the Mi'kmaq and the British Crown, and on the recognition of
Mi'kmaq treaty rights in the Marshall decision.

The Decolonial Study Group is a new project of the IPSM Ottawa. We will be
deepening and broadening our understanding and analysis of indigenous
struggles for decolonization, social justice and revolution. We will be
doing this through readings, workshops, oral presentations, movies and so
on.

For this study group there will be core articles which we ask everyone to
read, as well as additional articles and information for people who have
the time and the interest to get deeper into the subject matter. And
everyone is welcome whether they've done the readings or not!
