Due to an unexpected family emergency, this workshop was rescheduled from February 6, 2018. Anishnaabe author David D Plain from the Aamjiwnaang First Nation and filmmaker/designer Monica Virtue have partnered to create Treaty Workshops that fuse traditional oral storytelling with interactive mapping, animations and videos. While David talks about canoe routes, the Anishnaabeg migration story and subsequent struggles with other contending First Nations and colonial powers, Monica maps his story in real-time using Google Earth. David discusses various wars and the different wampum that were exchanged to end them, sharing physical items like a replica Two Row wampum and a calumet. Later, as Monica talks about colonization and breaking the wampum agreements, she uses maps to illustrate various local cession treaties (a.k.a. surrender treaties). Data visualization is used where possible, such as when explaining the structure of the Department of Indian Affairs. Equal weight is given to both Indigenous and non-Indigenous knowledge and comparisons are drawn throughout, such as between Indigenous and non-Indigenous world views as told through the Anishnaabe and Western creation stories. The Treaty Workshop ends with a discussion about decolonization and/or reconciliation, and with building a new world through a stronger nation-to-nation relationship.
