Since Europeans arrived on these shores, roads have been built to bring settlers across the country, connect them with resources to create industry and ultimately to establish a nation. Many of these interconnecting networks are called Colonization Roads. For Indigenous peoples, these roads embody a powerful and ironic reality; colonization is still so powerful, we name our roads after it. Join Anishinaabe comedian, Ryan McMahon as he travels across Ontario learning about Colonization Roads, the ways in which they have dispossessed Indigenous people of land and access to traditional territories while creating space for settlers in the colonial experiment that has become Canada.

Amnesty Kingston is pleased to welcome Terri-Lynn Brennan, Haudenosaunee, CEO of Inclusive Voices Inc. and former Heritage and First Peoples programme co-ordinator for the City of Kingston; Karine Bertrand, Metis film scholar and assistant professor in Queen’s Film and Media; and Armand Ruffo, Queen’s National Scholar in Indigenous Literature, associate professor of English and writer of Ojibway ancestry, who will be participating in a discussion with the audience following the screening of Colonization Road.
