SUMMARY:TRC #57: Dr. Starblanket Dr. Stark
DESCRIPTION:What does it really mean to live in relation—with one another\, with the Land\, and with the responsibilities we inherit and carry forward?\nRegister Now \nIn this powerful joint talk\, Dr. Gina Starblanket and Dr. Heidi Kiiwetinepinesiik Stark invite our audience into a deeper conversation about relationality as a living practice at the heart of meaningful reconciliation. \nDrawing from their chapter “Towards a Relational Paradigm: Knowledge\, Gender\, Land\, and Modernity\,” they explore how relationships—when lived with care and accountability—can guide transformative change in law\, governance\, and everyday life. Rather than offering a single roadmap or solution\, Starblanket and Stark ask thoughtful questions to stimulate deeper thinking: \n\nHow do power and knowledge shape our relationships?\nHow are gendered responsibilities unevenly carried?\nWhat happens when land is treated as property rather than a living relation?\nAnd how might Indigenous teachings help us move beyond rigid divides between “tradition” and “modernity”?\n\nThis conversation is an invitation for all citizens of Turtle Island to reflect on treaties not as historical artifacts\, but as ongoing relationships that call for humility\, reciprocity\, and action. Grounded in Indigenous political thought and lived realities\, this session offers space to listen\, learn\, and reconsider how resurgence and reconciliation are woven together in practice. \nJoin us for an evening of insight\, reflection\, and shared responsibility as we explore what it means to build just futures through relationship with one another and the Land. \nRegister Now \n \nResurgence and Reconciliation: Indigenous–Settler Relations and Earth Teachings\nEdited by Michael Asch\, John Borrows and James Tully \nUse the code Resurgence2026 to get 20% off your purchase through University of Toronto Press\, plus\, get free shipping on orders over $40 \nPurchase a Copy \nBorrow a Copy
