DESCRIPTION:\n	In towns throughout Ontario\, there are startling reminders o
 f the colonization of Indigenous territories and the displacement of First
  Nations people. Anishinaabe comedian and activist Ryan McMahon takes us t
 o his hometown of Fort Frances and down its main drag\, which is called Co
 lonization Road. Similar streets have similar names in towns and cities ac
 ross the province\, direct reminders of the little-known Colonization Road
 s Act of 1872 and its severe impact on First Nations\, their treaties and 
 their land in the name of “Canadian settlement.” On his journey through On
 tario\, McMahon explores the history of these roads\, meets with settlers 
 in solidarity and raises significant questions about “reconciliation” and 
 what it means to “decolonize.”\n\n\n	With his brand of hard-hitting comedy\
 , Ryan speaks with well respected Indigenous and settler lawyers\, histori
 ans\, researchers and policy makers who provide history\, context and solu
 tions for colonization roads and their impact. Ryan will look at the histo
 ry of the roads\, from the first settlers lured by Free Land Grant adverti
 sements to the treaties signed in the name of Indigenous sovereignty and n
 ationhood with the newcomers.\n\nRyan will introduce the film and particip
 ate in a Q&A after its conclusion.\n\nRyan is the Indigenous Knowledge Hol
 der for 2018. The Indigenous Knowledge Holder Series brings Indigenous Kno
 wledge Holders to McGill each year to spend a week at the university to sh
 are their scholarship\, work\, and advocacy. This Series seeks to act as a
  bridge between that knowledge and the institution while placing an emphas
 is on Indigenous community collaborations and partnerships through academi
