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. Instructor: Robin Fisher has taught British Columbia history in several universities and is the author of a number of books on the subject. His most recent book was the winner of the 2023 Lieutenant Governors medal for the best book in British Columbia history. He has taught for Elder College for several years and is its President.
