His book manuscript, \u201cLaying Down the Law: Indigenous governance and settler colonialism in Mohawk country,\u201d uncovers the processes by which the Canadian government suppressed Mohawk law and land governance, and imposed Indian Act law in nineteenth century Kahnawake. He will also discuss his new research projects on the work of land surveyors in settler colonies around the world, and how the application of GIS to historical data can shed new light on the establishment of settler states and the theft of Indigenous lands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All are welcome.
