AUDIO - Gord Hill - 500 Years of Indigenous Resistance http://toronto.mediacoop.ca/audio/gord-hill-500-years-indigenous-resistance/3794

The 5th speaking event of the Kitchener-Waterloo Peoples Summit (KWPS) is highlighted by a presentation by author and agent of social change Gord Hill and focuses in the topic of Hill’s book, and new comic book – 500 Years of Indigenous Resistance.Here is Gords description:

The history of the colonization of the Americas by Europeans is often portrayed as a mutually beneficial process, in which '”civilization” was brought to the Natives, who in return shared their land and cultures. A more critical history might present it as a genocide in which Indigenous peoples were helpless victims, overwhelmed and awed by European military power. In reality, neither of these views is correct.
