Across the country, the Stanley trial verdict has been the subject of intense discussion which聽gave rise to protest, calls for solidarity, and demands for changes to the justice system. Hostile debate, racist behaviour, and mounting tensions surrounding the case have, as a result, exposed large cracks in Canada's projected image of progress towards reconciliation, casting doubt on the existence of improved relations between settlers and Indigenous communities.
In an effort to address the anti-Indigenous sentiment that has surfaced following the verdict, Professor Veldon Coburn will open his CANS 306: Issues in Native Studies class with a public talk followed by a Q&A session on justice & race in Saskatchewan.
