This is Our Land: Indigenous Property, Development and Extraction in Canada and Latin America

The Honourable Justice Murray Sinclair

UWinnipeg’s Global College, in partnership with the Department of Indigenous Studies and Master’s in Development Practice, offered a topically relevant Spring Institute on Indigenous Property, Development and Extraction in Canada and Latin America featuring internationally recognized visiting lecturers: Dr. Ginger Gibson, an Adjunct Professor at the University of British Columbia in Mining Engineering (with support from the Walter and Duncan Gordon Foundation); Dr. Maria Delgado, senior lawyer with the Institute for Liberty and Democracy in Peru; and, Chair, Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada.

“By assembling such an extraordinary group of experts we were able to provide insights on this important issue to graduate and undergraduate students, our general community and most notably, Indigenous communities from across the country,” explained Dr. Ross McCormack, Director, Institute for Political and Cultural Studies of the Americas, UWinnipeg.
