STOLEN LAND : STOLEN VOICES
Canada and Israel are both built on land and resources stolen by
European settlers; both are still sustained by the ongoing repression
of indigenous peoples. The indigenous peoples of Canada and Palestine
are on the front lines resisting the destruction of the land by
militarism and industrial extraction. In the mainstream media and the
halls of power, indigenous activists’ voices and stories have been
silenced – they are treated as terrorists or historical curiosities.
This evening will explore the commonalities of indigenous struggles
for land and freedom in Canada and in Palestine as well as connections
to the global fight for a decolonized world.

ROBERT LOVELACE is a lecturer at Queen’s University’s Dept. of Global
Development Studies.  An activist in anti-colonial struggles, he spent
3 ½ months in jail as a political prisoner for defending the Ardoch
homeland from uranium exploration.  A former chief of the Anoch
Algonquin First Nation, Robert sailed twice on the Freedom Flotilla
attempting to break the blockade of Gaza.

DIMA ALANSARI is a Palestinian-Kuwaiti filmmaker and performer based
in Vancouver. She co-wrote and performed in "Return Home," a play
about the intersecting journeys of an Anishinaabe woman from Quebec
living under the legacy of colonization, and a Palestinian woman born
in exile, living in diaspora. She is currently the creative director
of Salish Sea Productions, a media and production collective creating
socially relevant works on themes of social justice, Immigrant,
Indigenous and intercultural issues, women, youth & environment.

GLEN COULTHARD (Yellowknives Dene) is an assistant professor in the
First Nations Studies Program and Political Science Department at UBC.
His recent book "Red Skin, White Masks" exposes the politics of
Canada's ongoing colonialism.
