When Bob Joseph released 21 Things™ You May Not Know About the Indian Act, it spent an entire year on the BC bestsellers list and enlightened hundreds of thousands of Canadians about the complex issues connected to the Indian Act. The book ignited conversations around questions like: “Can we get rid of the Indian Act?” and “What would that look like, and would it work?” Joseph returns with an essential new read that shows us the current path forward, in which Indigenous self-governance is not only already happening, but is also an absolute necessity that we need more of sooner rather than later.
In this Incite event, Joseph will present on some examples of Indigenous self-government arrangements that are already working, and share future possibilities from his new book, 21 Things™ You Need to Know About Indigenous Self-Government. A certified Master Trainer who has been providing training on Indigenous relations since 1994, Joseph will then hold an extended audience Q+A session for both in-person and online audience members, where he will answer questions with his trademark deep wisdom and empathy. This is an unmissable event for understanding the future of decolonization.
Books will be for sale at the event from Massy Books.
