Author talk with Armand Garnet Ruffo to discuss Treaty for Treaties Recognition Week

Tracking Treaty: When Worlds Collide

An author talk in honour of Treaties Recognition Week

Join us for an evening with Anishinaabe writer and poet Armand Garnet Ruffo, writer of Treaty # (shortlisted for a Governor General’s Literary Award), The Dialogues: the Song of Francis Pegahmagabow (winner of VMI/Betsy Warland “Between Genre Award”), and his newest work, “The Upper World”. He will provide an overview of the treaty process between Indigenous peoples and the colonial Canada, shaped by changing political and social landscapes and differing understandings of land ownership and relationships.

A book signing will follow the program. Our friends from Perfect Books will be on hand to sell books.

Simultaneous translation to French is available for this program. Please let staff know if you would like simultaneous translation.

This event is made possible through the generous support of the Friends of the Ottawa Public Library Association (FOPLA). Provided in partnership with Library and Archives Canada.
