Savage Anxieties Part 3: The Hul'qumi'num Case before the Inter-American Commission of Human Rights

submitted by LRWCanada on 08/29/16 1

Savage Anxieties: Indigenous Peoples' Human Rights and the Not-So-Special Case of Hul'qumi'num Treaty Group v. Canada before the Inter-American Human Rights Commission. Throughout the centuries, conquest, war, and unspeakable acts of racist violence and colonial dispossession have all been justified by citing Western civilization's opposition to the differences represented by indigenous tribal peoples. Professor Williams explores the history of the denial of indigenous peoples' rights to lands and resources in the West from the time of the ancient Greeks and Romans up through Canada's 21st century treaty negotiations in BC. Robert Williams Jr., Professor of Law at the University of Arizona and member of the Lumbee Indian Tribe, is an internationally acclaimed expert on First Nations rights. Thursday, May 9, 7:00PM -- 8:30PM. Location: Alice MacKay Room, Lower Level Central Library, 350 West Georgia St.
