Rupert's Land Colloquium 2010

Seventy presenters from across North America will convene at The University of Winnipeg to share new research in many fields relating to the history of Rupert's Land (the huge Hudson Bay watershed that the Hudson's Bay Company held for 200 years). Historians, geographers, public historians, family researchers, and others will present their work on fur trade and Aboriginal history, on families, communities, and life ways in Rupert's Land, on new studies of historic sites, and a wide range of other topics.

The Colloquium opens with a reception on Wednesday evening, May 19, and a plenary session the next morning featuring innovative research in Aboriginal cultural heritage. The Friday evening banquet, May 21, will feature Dr. Lloyd Axworthy, President and Vice-Chancellor of The University of Winnipeg and Edward Kennedy, CEO of the North West Company.

To register, see the information and registration forms posted on the Centre for Rupert's Land Studies website. Note the special early-bird rate in effect until April 1.

The Centre for Rupert's Land Studies and The University of Winnipeg, in partnership with the Hudson's Bay Company Archives and Parks Canada, welcome you to the 2010 Colloquium, a major biennial event in a series that the Centre has hosted since 1984.
