NOV. 3 – Radical Reads #3: Cultural Appropriation and Decolonization

Volunteer Coordinator October 30, 2016 October 30, 2016

Come on out to the OPIRG Library’s next meeting of RADICAL READS–your campus radical reading group. In this third meeting, we’ll be reading Cultural Appreciation… or Cultural Appropriation? by the Native Resistance Network AND Decolonizing Together: Moving Beyond A Politics of Solidarity; Towards a Practice of Decolonization by Harsha Walia.

RADICAL READS is focused on zines and smaller articles–so that students and community members already with deep reading lists can take a dive into interesting discussion topics without feeling like this is another course or big project. Discussion at RADICAL READS will be casual, but follow the mandate and anti-oppressive ideals of OPIRG Guelph.

OPIRG Guelph is located on the ancestral lands of the Attawandaron/Chonnonton, the Anishinaabe, and Haudenosaunee peoples and the treaty lands and territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. We recognize the significance of the Dish with One Spoon Covenant to this land and offer our respect and gratitude to all of the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island who have stewarded, loved & defended this land for centuries.

In stating this, we acknowledge that we are here as a result of blood that has been shed through colonization, which continues to be the lived experience of Indigenous communities across Turtle Island. Colonialism is a current ongoing process, and we need to be accountable for our present participation in that process.
