Following up our successful lecture at our Community Classroom on the History of Ottawa River Watershed with Senior Researcher at Algonquin Nations Secretariat, Peter Di Gangi, we would like to invite you all to our next discussion with Peter on the development of Federal Indian Policies. Reflecting on Peter's previous lectures, we felt a need to shine lights on an important player: Government Policy that has contributed to the complexity of politics that involve Indigenous peoples, esp. Algonquins whose land Ottawa is sitting on.
At this community classroom, Peter Di Gangi will provide us a lecture on the history of Indian Policy development followed by a discussion of a particular cases: Ontario Algonquin Land Claim within the context of Algonquin Nations Secretariat, and Q&A.
