Dr. Dorothy Cucw-la7 Christian of the Secwepemc and Syilx Nations of interior plateau regions will share some of her history in so-called activism work with settler people. She will include stories of her lived experiences in relationship building with other communities that some call alliance building. Kirsten Emiko McAllister, a settler who grew up in the territories of the Snuneymuxw Nation, will discuss the complexities of Asian settler-Indigenous relations, focusing on the politics of knowledge and universities, and reflecting on her family’s experiences as Japanese Canadians and Scottish socialists, whose histories occupying Indigenous territories in the settler colony of BC date back to the late 1800s.
