About Project 57

Decolonization requires all of us to engage in learning and unlearning. The Decolonizing the Library Working Group (DLWG) invites everyone to learning alongside us with Project 57. 

This project is a response to the TRC Call to Action 57, which calls on "federal, provincial, territorial, and municipal governments to provide education to public servants on the history of Aboriginal peoples." Over the next 57 weeks the DLWG will share information about a topic related to Indigenous Peoples, communities, and culture. We’ll cover terminology, identity, SFU’s local Nations, and cultural events such as the powwow. Some weeks will cover the impacts of colonization and colonial policy, such as the Indian Act for example.  

Many thanks to MLIS Co-op student Caprice Pybus for their support in this project.
