From 30 November to 20 December 2023, you can participate in online meetings on the Zoom platform with representatives of indigenous cultures from the Northwest Coast of Canada.

A lecture “Residential schools, Indian Day Schools and Indian Hospitals – colonial legacies” will be held on 7 December 2023 in the Zoom platform.

The lecture focuses on the problem of residential schools for Indigenous children in Canada, as well as Indian Day Schools and Indian hospitals. Andy Wilson examines these topics in the context of the Canadian government’s colonial policies toward Indigenous population and his own life experience. By exposing violence and racist practices – both in schools and hospitals for Indigenous communities – he decolonizes the mainstream Canadian historical discourse.
