Summary of the talk: 

While many people know they exist on Algonquin land, due to the
inadequacies of the colonial education system these same people only
know a little bit about the Algonquin Anishinaabeg of the Ottawa River
Valley. This talk, delivered in a story-telling format, is intended to
give the listener a foundation about the Algonquin land and waterscape,
who the Algonquin were at contact, and who the Algonquin are today.
Items discussed will be where the Algonquin were located at contact, the
imposition of the 1763 Royal Proclamation, how the Algonquin have been
divided through the overlay of the Canadian confederation on their
territory and were never treatied with, the controversial Algonquin of
Ontario land claims process, and the Quebec Algonquin First Nation
assertion of title. This story will also discuss the lumber industry and
Algonquin sacred places such as Akikpautik (Chaudière Falls). 

Speaker's bio:
