UBC, Wet’suwet’en Virtual Teach-In - YouTube (23 April 2020)

Title and Rights, State Action, and Media representation of Land Defenders 

During a time of separation and social distancing, join us for an opportunity to gather together for a virtual teach-in on the legal foundations of Wet’suwet’en Title and Rights and the treatment of the Wet’suwet’en land defenders and supporters in the media as a result of recent state actions taken against them.

 Moderated by Coll Thrush, Professor of History and Associate Faculty in Critical Indigenous Studies, this is your opportunity to hear from leading UBC scholars and learn more about the various human rights issues faced by Indigenous and First Nations people. 

Presenters, Paige Raibmon (Department of History), Gordon Christie (Allard School of Law), and Candis Callison (Graduate School of Journalism) will speak to their various fields of expertise and respond to questions from participants in this virtual space.
