The underlying claim is that there is an inverse relationship between the state\u2019s indigenous citizenisation project and Indigenous modalities of belonging to a territory and people. The more indigenous peoples come to practice citizenship within the state\u2019s publics, the less space is available to maintain their indigenous \u2018publics\u2019 that precede and often counter the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To support this claim, the author will provide a biographical account of belonging to an Indigenous Nation that has comprehensively folded themselves into the state public by signing the Maa-nulth Treaty Agreement in 2007 (MFA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Biography<\/strong><br>\nProfessor Johnny Mack is from the Toquaht Nation (Nuu-chah-nulth) and an Assistant Professor jointly appointed to the Peter A. Allard School of Law and First Nations and Indigenous Studies at UBC. Professor Mack has an LLB and an LLM from the University of Victoria. His PhD research has earned a CGS scholarship from SSHRC and the Trudeau Foundation&nbsp;(2011). Professor Mack\u2019s research investigates the legal relationship between indigenous and settler peoples in contemporary settler states, particularly Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This event is open to members of the Carleton University community. <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/juristalks-registration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Registration is required<\/a>.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/JurisTalk-Prof.-Johnny-Mack-March-30-2021.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">View the poster<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":25824,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_event_type":[18],"cu_event_audience":[396],"class_list":["post-25939","cu_event","type-cu_event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cu_event_type-lectures","cu_event_audience-carleton-community"],"acf":{"cu_event_start_date":"2021-03-30 13:00:00","cu_event_end_date":"2021-03-30 14:00:00","cu_event_location_type":"virtual","cu_event_meeting_address_type":"on-campus","cu_building":false,"cu_event_meeting_room":"","cu_event_meeting_address_full":null,"cu_event_virtual_type":"zoom","cu_event_virtual_meeting_link":"","cu_post_thumbnail":"","cu_event_cost":"","cu_event_registration":"","cu_event_secondary_button":"","cu_event_contact_name":"","cu_event_email":"","cu_event_phone":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/25939","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/25939\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32835,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/25939\/revisions\/32835"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25824"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25939"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_event_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_type?post=25939"},{"taxonomy":"cu_event_audience","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_audience?post=25939"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
