Western’s Faculty of Law and the Interdisciplinary Initiative in Applied Indigenous Scholarship invite Western faculty members and students to participate in a unique two-day gathering with elders and knowledge holders of the Walpole Island First Nation, led by Professor Valarie Waboose of the University of Windsor Faculty of Law.
The ‘camp’, which will be held at Bkejwanong (Walpole Island), will introduce Anishinabe legal and governance traditions and Indigenous knowledge systems through presentations, discussions with Elders, and visits to sites on the territory. We are able to accept only 24 participants. All invited applicants must commit to attend both days of this event. Return transportation each day from Western, snacks, and lunches will be provided.
To apply, please contact Paul Hansen (Faculty of Law) at [email protected] by March 6.
Students should identify their program and year, and in a few lines describe their interest and expectations.
