Indigenous Peoples in Urban Quebec: Challenges, Issues and Trends
The presence of Indigenous Peoples in Quebec cities has always been an integral part of the Indigenous geopolitical landscape in the province.
The city is both a home and the scene of personal, professional and institutional achievement for Indigenous individuals and organizations.
Join Carole Lévesque for an exploration of the challenges, issues and trends associated with this sociological reality.
A researcher at the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS), Carole has dedicated her entire career to Indigenous questions. For more than 40 years, she has worked in close collaboration with Indigenous communities, organizations and institutions in Quebec and elsewhere. Her work was recognized by the Quebec government in 2016 with the Marie-Andrée Bertrand award as having a major role in reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples.
