DESCRIPTION:\nWhen and Where: \nThursday, April 27, 2023 1:00 pm to 2:15 
 pm \n Online \n\nSpeakers \nRoxanne Korpan Darin Wybenga \n\nDescription: 
 \nPeter Jones (1802–1856) was an Ojibwa Chief (known as Kahkewaquonaby), 
 a Methodist minister and an English-Anishinaabemowin translator. This sess
 ion is about Peter Jones' advocacy for the establishment of schools for hi
 s people and the drafting of a constitution. It touches upon the tension b
 etween his vision and that of the colonial government of that era.This onl
 ine session, organized by the E.J. Pratt Library, includes two brief pre
 sentations, followed by an opportunity for attendees to ask questions and
  contribute to a discussion.  Roxanne Korpan will discuss Peter Jones' inv
 olvement in a General Council held at Orillia in 1846, which was attended
  by other Mississauga and Mohawk leaders as well as church and colonial go
 vernment leaders. At this meeting, settler leadership promised the attend
 ing Indigenous Nations that manual labour schools (also called residential
  schools) would lead to equality and independence, a vision of education 
 shared by Jones. But when the agreements made at Orillia were implemented\
 , the government instead endorsed a model of education that paved the way 
 for the violent assimilation enacted through the national system of reside
 ntial schools for Indigenous children.Darin Wybenga, will present on Pete
 r Jones/Kahkewaquonaby's drafting of a Constitution for the Mississaugas i
 n 1830 and how it encompassed two different ideologies. The language of th
 e constitution referred to the traditional ways and knowledge of his natio
 n but also espoused the language and legal framework of the colonial gover
 nment.  About the presentersRoxanne Korpan is a settler researcher from Tr
 eaty 4 territory who recently completed her PhD at the University of Toron
 to's Department for the Study of Religion. Her dissertation focuses on how

 ilding mutually respectful relations with settler society. Roxanne is also
  a senior researcher with Archipel Research & Consulting, which is an Ind
 igenous-owned firm specializing in research related to Indigenous communit
 ies and equity, diversity, and inclusion.Darin Wybenga works for the Mis
