The talk addresses important questions such as: What is the relationship between the land, education and resistance to colonialism? Why should we imagine alternative worlds and broaden political possibilities?

All of this was discussed by Christi Belcourt, who is a multi-award-winning Métis visual artist, author, environmentalist and advocate for the lands, waters and Indigenous peoples. She is a lead organizer for the Onaman Collective, a group that focuses on resurgence of language and land based practices. She was also the lead coordinator for Walking With Our Sisters, a community-driven art project that honours murdered and missing Indigenous women, girls and Two Spirit people.

In this talk, Belcourt explores the need for people to organize for the earth and waters, and the importance of preserving traditional knowledge. She also discusses ways to organize outside the systems of government and institutions.
