Topic: Yellowhead Treaty Map

Yumi Numata presents Yellowhead Treaty Map - an accessible introduction to Indigenous perspectives on treaties in Canada

Covering every Canadian treaty from 1763 to the present, The Treaty Map aims to challenge the commonly held view of treaties as land surrenders and offers a comprehensive, interactive learning and teaching tool, grounded in Indigenous perspectives of treaties.

Speaker:

Yumi Numata is the Director of Operations at Yellowhead Institute.

Yumi believes that how we work and the processes we use to engage each other are integral aspects of building a sustainable future. Equity, storytelling and capacity building are three areas of focus that have, and continue to inform her work.
