Dear friends of the Humanities,
Upcoming Events:
UMIH Graduate Fellow Presentation by Jonathan Hildebrand (PhD, History)
Water, Indigenous Presence, and Mennonite History in Manitoba’s “Barren Prairielands”
Thursday, April 4th, from 2:30 PM - 4:30 PM in room 307 Tier
How is water remembered and written about in a place that has been called the first European agricultural settlement on the Canadian prairies “without direct access to a major body or current of water”? How is Indigenous presence and land use addressed in a region where settler histories report “very little contact” between Indigenous peoples? And do themes of water and Indigenous presence overlap in any way? Using the Mennonite “West Reserve” region of southern Manitoba as a case study, Jonathan Hildebrand examines local histories and commemorations of the area to address these questions, and to better understand how Indigenous land becomes widely understood as settler space. There will be coffee and treats served at the presentation. All faculty, staff, students and community are welcome. Contact: umih(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:umih@umanitoba.ca>
