Wanapitei Chateau , Lake Temagami, Ontario
The 2002 Wanapitei Colloquium will focus on major topics related to "Resources and Relationships: Aboriginal Peoples and Past and Present Issues in Resource Management and Cultural Tourism," a topic chosen by the participants at the end of last year's Colloquium on "Oral History, Traditional Knowledge and Storytelling." The following themes are guidelines - presenters are encouraged to offer papers on these or other themes within the main focus of the colloquium:
- Forestry
- Fishing
- Mining
- Hunting
- Trapping
- Mapping
- Water Rights
- Naming
- Treaties
If you do not wish to present a paper, we urge you to participate in other ways such as by offering to chair one of the sessions. Please contact us to make arrangements for your active participation in this event.
Sponsored in part by Trent University's Frost Centre for Canadian Studies and Native Studies and the Department of Native Studies, the Wanapitei Colloquia are informal and highly participatory gatherings of scholars and Aboriginal spokespersons from across Canada and around the globe. While most participants are from Canada, people have come from Slovenia, Finland, the United States, Australia, Japan and the United Kingdom. Please send abstracts for papers and ideas for sessions by June 1; our registration deadline for all participants is August 1.
The colloquium will take place at the Wanapitei Chateau, a wilderness lodge associated with a Camp and a CANOE organization on scenic Lake Temagami north of North Bay, Ontario. Participants can camp, bunk in one of the rustic camp cabins or stay in the Wanapitei Chateau, an Ontario Heritage Building. Wanapitei is accessible via the rough gravel Red Squirrel road or by a ten minute fly-in from the village of Temagami. Sessions are held in the lodge, with one special session taking place at Bear Island, home of the Teme-Augama Anishnabai. Meals in the Dinning Hall, swimming and canoeing, a short canoe / hike field trip to beautiful Red Squirrel Lake, and activities for the kids are also part of the package.
Past proceedings from the Colloquium have been prepared for publication in edited volumes. We hope to continue publishing colloquium proceedings.
The Colloquium fee is $314.50 for graduate students and $364.50 for everyone else (half price for children over 10 years of age, free for children under 10). This price includes all meals and accommodations.
