** Suggested Complementary Readings for March 15 ** 

Reflecting on the battle against Sun Peaks development covered in these
chapters, here are some readings about the ongoing ‘Zibi' development
locally. 
 
1) "Reconciliation Really?: A Timeline of the Desecration of Akikodjiwan
and Akikpautik, An Anishinaabeg Sacred Place" by Lynn Gehl and Lindsay
Lambert. http://www.leveller.ca/2018/03/reconciliation-really/

Great historical context by an Algonquin scholar/activist and a local
historian.


2) "To Justify Land #2”:
http://www.berfrois.com/2017/07/lital-khaikin-justify-land-2/ 

A series of essays (mostly) about Zibi and Akikodjiwan, published in a
British literary magazine.

If you haven't caught up yet, or weren’t able to come last time, just do
you best to get as deep as you can. If you don't have a copy of the
book, Octopus Books has some. We have a few hard copies and e-books on
hand too (free or pay-what-you-can), which you can claim by emailing
indigsol at riseup.net.

There will be a scheduled break, and some light snacks available. Please
contact us (indigsol at riseup.net) with any questions, if you need help
paying for bus fare, or have any other accommodation needs.
