The 2018 Woodrow Lloyd Lecture at the University of Regina will feature Mi’kmaw lawyer, scholar, and author Dr. Pam Palmater, a prominent advocate for and media commentator on Indigenous issues and rights.
Palmater will present a lecture entitled Truth and Reconciliation in Canada: If It Feels Good, It’s Not Reconciliation on Thursday, February 15 at 7:00 p.m. in the Education Building Auditorium.
Her talk will examine the recommendations outlined in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action – a path toward reconciling and healing the relationship between Canada and Indigenous peoples – as well as critique the current approach to this crucial task.
