In this talk, Adele Perry discusses her ongoing research on histories of Winnipeg, drinking water, and colonialism within feminist and decolonizing thought. Drawing on Indigenous feminist theory and research, Perry will examine how the city of Winnipeg dispossessed the Annishinaabeg community of Shoal Lake 40 in the 1910s and discusses the ongoing consequences of these histories for both Indigenous people and settlers.
