Engaging with course readings, reflect on how you understand yourself, your own history, andstory of living on the lands of the Anishinaabeg, Inninuwak, Nakota, and Metis in Treaty 1territory (or elsewhere, if relevant). For this assignment in particular students are encouraged touse a first-person narrative, to speak about their own background and knowledge (what theyknow or think they know, and how they have come to this understanding or interpretation of theworld). In other words, how do YOU relate to this place (Winnipeg)? Your own familial andpersonal stories will likely be relevant here. But also relevant is your own education andsocialization in relation to Indigenous history in Canada. What you were taught and what wasNOT taught are both relevant here. Using ‘I statements’ in this assignment is necessary for thesereasons, and you will struggle to do well without positioning yourself (see the note on“positionality” below for elaboration). This assignment will prompt you to think through thequestion: Who are you? How did you come to be in this place? What are the political, economic,and social conditions that allow for you to live in this place, and affect what you think you knowabout it?Full sentences, proper grammar and spelling, are still expected.
