The IPIC Indigenous IP Community invites you to join authors Douglas Sanderson (Amo Binashii) and Andrew Stobo Sniderman for a discussion about their award-winning book, Valley of the Birdtail: An Indian Reserve, a White Town, and the Road to Reconciliation. Valley of the Birdtail is about how two communities became separate and unequal—and what it means for the rest of us. The virtual book club will discuss the role law has played in creating this inequality, as well as the role law might play in reconciliation.
This interactive event will provide a unique opportunity for participants to engage with fellow readers and directly converse with the authors. It promises a lively and enriching discussion where everyone can share insights and perspective.
Please scroll down for event registration, and book purchase details. You have until October 6th, 2024, to purchase the book on our website.
