Elections are broadly accepted as the hallmark of democracy and the standard 
of a government's legitimacy. However, elections have been used to 
legitimate the domination of colonized people and to formalize new, 
oppressive forms of governance under the guise of humanitarianism and 
modernization. This workshop will focus on the recent elections in 
Kanehsatake with a focus on Canadian involvement in all three elections. In 
all three places, elections have been significantly shaped by external 
interests.

Join us for presentations and an opportunity to discuss the significance of 
these three elections.
