Resource person: Pam Petrie

Location: St. Philip by-the-Sea | 7113 Lantzville Road, Lantzville, BC, V0R 2H0

Description:

We will look at the way newcomers have treated First Nations people over their land from early contact to the present. We will learn how they claimed, occupied and removed First Nations people from the land and how the First Nations responded. How land was lost and, in some cases, regained and recognize that history lives with us today. Understanding our shared past enables us to understand how we got to where we are - and, perhaps, where we might go next.
