================================

The Decolonial Study Group is a 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.

The reading for the study group on Sunday, April 25 will focus on the
Indian Act. The Indian Act is the fundamental piece of legislation through
which the Canadian state seeks to control Indigenous People in Canada.

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.

Core Readings:

Gender, Race, and the Regulation of Native Identity in Canada and the
United States: An Overview by Bonita Lawrence

The essay is pretty long, so feel free to stop at "American Discourses of
Indianess." Also read the "Summary," page 24-25. Of course, you`re
encouraged to read the whole essay.

You need to friend "Matthew Brown" in order to see the essay. Sorry about
that! It is due to the way Facebook works.
