[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

*Join the BCMA for a read-along of useful resources!Tuesday November 19th,
10:00am *

The BCMA hosts sessions of the BCMA Book Club with staff members Lorenda
and Leia. This series of online discussions aims to be part of cultural
heritage professionals’ decolonization efforts and utilize existing
resources to inform our work. Join us to hold yourself accountable for
reading important resources to help your professional practice!

In the Winter 2024-25 session, join Lorenda and Leia as we turn our focus
towards the Indian Act. We will start with some historical editions by
reading selections of Consolidation of Indian Legislation Volume II: Indian
Acts and Amendments, 1868-1975
<https://museum.bc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Consolidation-of-Indian-Legislation-Volume-2-Indian-Acts-and-Amendments-1868-1975-.pdf>and
then in the final two weeks, turn our attention to reading the current Indian
Act R.S.C.,1985, c I-5 (last amended on August 15, 2019)
<https://museum.bc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Indian-Act-R.S.C.1985-c-I-5-.pdf>
.

If you’d like more context for the Indian Act before we get started, Secret
Life of Canada on CBC has a 44 minute podcast episode here

*Please note: Indian Act Legislation contains harmful and difficult
content. It reflects racist opinions and attitudes and contains harmful
language. We ask that all participants help create an atmosphere of mutual
respect and sensitivity. Participants should prepare themselves before
proceeding, and we encourage them to listen to their needs as we read and
discuss these documents. *
