- **Event Description**: Join Robin Fisher, in this talk about the first time that First Nations land claims were considered in a British Columbia.About this EventThe White and Bob case was the first time that First Nations land claims were considered in a British Columbia court. It ended one hundred years of British Columbia saying to its First Nations people that their claims to their land were not a topic for discussion. Yet it was only a beginning. It would be another forty years before Indigenous title would be recognized. This talk will place British Columbia’s history in the context of other former British Colonies. The treatment of Indigenous people over their land is an international issue that is also intensely local.Robin Fisher is a New Zealander by birth, a Canadian by choice and an historian by profession. After being a faculty member at Simon Fraser University, he was involved in the establishment of two new universities - the University of Northern British Columbia in Prince George and Mount Royal University in Calgary. He has written several books on the history of British Columbia. His most recent, Wilson Duff: Coming Back, a Life was the winner of the Lieutenant Governors Prize, awarded by the British Columbia Historical Federation, for the best book in British Columbia history in 2022.
