On November 4th, the Huron County Museum is hosting a virtual event to celebrate Treaties Recognition Week. Guest speaker Randall Kahgee will share an overview of Treaties, looking at their historical and contemporary context and how they govern the relationship between indigenous people and the Federal and Provincial Governments. The talk will focus on treaties that cover this region of the Lake Huron coast.
Randall Kahgee is Senior Counsel with Olthuis Kleer Townshend LLP, and specializes in indigenous rights law, with an emphasis on community-based processes and government-to-government negotiations. He also served as Chief of the Saugeen First Nation for four consecutive terms, from June 2006 to June 2014 and has worked with First Nation governments across Canada. He has also been a part of significant agreements between First Nation communities and both levels of government on energy issues, like those relating to the development of nuclear facilities, transmission lines, wind energy projects and environmental matters.
The event will be held on Thursday November, 4 at 7:00pm. To register for this informative virtual talk, visit the Huron County Museum online: www.huroncountymuseum.ca
