Wed, November 19, 2014 9:30 AM - 11:30 AM IRVING K. BARBER LEARNING CENTRE. UBC’s rich history in relation to local Indigenous peoples is often hidden, and it is overlooked or simply unknown. Knowing and sharing aspects of this history as members of the UBC community learning and working on Musqueam territory is crucial. In this session, we will introduce some of the new digital resources that we have developed to revitalize local histories on campus and integrate them into our teaching and learning. Using technologies to help foster stronger connections to place is a core component of our work at CTLT Aboriginal Initiatives. The resources that we will explore in this session include:
Oral Histories As Told by Larry Grant - a set of interviews that reflect the knowledge, memories, and views of Musqueam Elder Larry Grant as an individual in 2010 and 2011 using an innovative research tool called the Interactive Video/Transcript Viewer
Totem Park Residence Educational Film Series - a film series regarding the historical context of the site known today as Totem Park Residence, the contested history of its building naming processes, and stories of UBC-Indigenous relations
Time and Place at UBC: Our Histories and Relations - a website and timeline that document UBC’s key historical moments with Aboriginal peoples while locating these moments in broader contexts at UBC, BC, and Canada
We will discuss how these resources can be embedded in your classes, programs, or services, and invite you to share your feedback and ideas as well. We will also share stories regarding the creation process of the resources, including what motivated us to create them and what we have learned throughout the collaborative processes we engaged in.
Please feel free to bring your laptop to browse our resources during the session. We will also have some laptops available for participants to share.
