DESCRIPTION:\n\nPresented by Konrad Sioui\, Former Chief of the Huron - Wen
 dat Nation\n\nIn 1982\, Georges\, Hugues\, Régent\, and Konrad Sioui were 
 charged and convicted of illegally camping\, starting fires\, and cutting 
 down trees in Jacques-Cartier Park in Québec. They appealed their case to 
 the Supreme Court of Canada. In R. v. Sioui\, also known as the Sioui Deci
 sion\, the Siouis won a unanimous decision at the Supreme Court of Canada 
 in 1990. The ruling acknowledged that a document known as “the Huron-Briti
 sh Treaty of 1760” signed between British General James Murray and the Hur
 on-Wendat chief was still valid as it was an international agreement enter
 ed into between sovereign nations and it protected their right to use the 
 land for ceremonial purposes. During this webinar\, former Chief Konrad Si
 oui discusses the role this formative case played in his life and career a
 nd how it changed the way Indigenous treaties are interpreted in Canadian 
 courts of law since then.\n\nThis event will be held in French but partici
 pants may ask questions in French or English.\n\nAbout Konrad Sioui\, Form
 er Chief of the Huron - Wendat Nation \n\nKonrad Sioui is a hereditary chi
 ef of the Bear Clan of the Huron-Wendat Nation\, Grand Chief of the Counci
 l of his Nation\, and has been elected three consecutive times as Regional
  Chief of the Assembly of First Nations of Quebec and Labrador. During tha
 t time\, he represented the region on the Executive Council and acted on n
 umerous occasions as Grand Chief under the leadership of George Erasmus. H
 e was also the official and national spokesperson on constitutional reform
  issues between 1984 and 1994.\n\nIn 1991\, we won a landmark\, unanimous 
 decision at the Supreme Court of Canada against Quebec and Canada known as
  the Sioui Decision. This ruling acknowledged that treaties entered into b
 etween the Crown and First Nations are international agreements entered in
 to by sovereign nations.\n\nSioui is a dedicated humanitarian and diplomat
