\nKeynote speaker: Dr. Sheryl Lightfoot
\nDr. Sheryl Lightfoot, from UBC\u2019s First Nations and Indigenous Studies and the Department of Political
\nScience, will give a presentation on the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples
\n(UNDRIP). Twenty-five years in the making by United Nations members and Indigenous groups, this
\ndeclaration puts forward the \u201cstandards for the survival, dignity and well-being of the Indigenous
\npeoples of the world.\u201d It declares that Indigenous peoples have the right to be free from discrimination
\nand recognizes Indigenous peoples\u2019 right to self-determination. UNDRIP has been adopted by the
\nProvince of British Columbia, and in December of 2020 Bill C-15 was introduced by the Government
\nof Canada to incorporate UNDRIP into law. It is an ideal time to raise student awareness of Indigenous
\nissues and Indigenous knowledge. The presentation will be followed by a Q & A.<\/p>\n
