At The Refinery, 609 Dufferin Avenue, Saskatoon

This talk addresses the questions of “what is race?” and “how do we address racial stereotypes?” It starts out by explaining how widely held ideas about “race” are not supported by scientific evidence, and then explains the history behind the term, and the (non-race) reasons why Europeans were able to conquer and colonize the world. Special attention is given to Settler / First Nations relations in Canada, and “Indian” stereotypes.
