[Iswg3906.organizers] Saturday, December 7: Language and Decolonization Workshop; The Truth About Stories

[Indigenous Solidarity Working Group]

*Saturday, December 7: Language and Decolonization workshop; The Truth
About Stories, by Thomas King*


Hi all,

First off, sorry we didn't follow up on the announced workshop back in
September. Some members of the working group had personal issues come up
that cut into our capacity. But for the fall and winter, we’re really
excited to pick back up the idea of a series of workshops delving further
into issues of decolonization and Indigenous solidarity.


As we’d planned before, the next workshop in this series will deal with the
theme of *Language and Decolonization*, using Thomas King’s book, The Truth
About Stories, as a starting point. This text is available in the library
or in audio format, read by the author,
here.<http://www.cbc.ca/ideas/massey-archives/2003/11/07/massey-lectures-2003-the-truth-about-stories-a-native-narrative/>


We’re sending this callout to people who have either attended the
solidarity and allyship workshop in the summer or who are also working on
issues of decolonization. Please feel free to send this along to people you
know who are also engaged in this work and who might be interested.


We’re planning this workshop for 2-5pm on December 7th, at a location to be
announced. Early next week, we’ll be sending around another note to confirm
the location and to refresh ourselves on some of the intentions of this
series.


Looking forward to seeing you soon,


jessica,

on behalf of the iswg
