Honouring Indigenous Aid & Sharing Lands

Honouring Indigenous Aid & Sharing Lands: Reconciliation, Recognition and Reciprocity

Honouring Indigenous Aid & Sharing Lands pays tribute to the Indigenous Peoples such as the Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee First Nations in Canada West (Ontario) and Choctaw and Cherokee Nations in Indian Territory (Oklahoma) that contributed to Irish Famine relief in 1847 when they faced considerable hardship, broken treaty relations, and forced relocation.

The purpose of this event is to express gratitude to these Native Americans and First Nations in Canada for their generosity during the Great Hunger.  Professor LeAnne Howe (Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, University of Georgia), Professor Mark McGowan (University of St Michael’s College in the University of Toronto), Dr Padraig Kirwan (Goldsmiths, University of London), Dr Gillian O’Brien (Liverpool John Moore’s University), and sculptor Brendan O’Neill explore the bonds of friendship and legacies created by these remarkable gifts, as well as Indigenous responses to colonization and territorial dispossession.
