Moderator: A ssociate Professor Aziz Choudry\, Canada Research Chair (Tier II) in Socia l Movement Learning and Knowledge Production\, Faculty of Education\, McGi ll University.\n\nAbstract\n\nIn her recently released book\, Starblanket examines how genocide is operationalized in Canada\, focused primarily on breaking the intergenerational transmission of Indigenous Peoples’ nationa l identities from parents to children by the forcible removals from the In digenous Nations on Turtle Island to the residential school system and pre sent day removals in the child welfare system. Seeking to absorb the new g enerations into a different identity: English-speaking\, Christian\, Anglo -Saxon\, termed Canadian\, Canada seized children from their parents and N ations\, and oversaw and enforced the stripping of their cultural beliefs\ , spirituality\, languages and traditions\, replacing them by those establ ished by the Canadian state. She outlines the array and extent of the dest ruction which inevitably took place as part of the effort to bring about s uch a wrenching change—forcible indoctrination by means of massive and wid espread death by disease and dilapidated living conditions\, torture\, for ced starvation\, forced labor\, and sexual predation—collateral destructio n to Canada’s effort to absorb diverse original nations into one larger\, alien and dominating body politic.\n\nConcluding the lecture\, she will pr esent a short reading from her book.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nTamara Starbl anket is a Nehiyaw Iskwew (Cree woman) from Ahtahkakoop First Nation in Tr eaty Six Territory.
