The Towards Anti-Oppression Committee is pleased to present a lecture with special guest Brandon Montour titled,
“Growing beyond the Indian Act: How the Resurgence of Haudenosaunee Law is transforming Governance in Kahnawà :ke”
ÐÓ°ÉÔ´´ the speaker: Brandon is Kanien’kehá:ka and a citizen of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy from the Mohawk Territory of Kahnawà :ke. Before joining the S.J.D program in 2024, he completed his Master of Laws (LL.M) at the University of Toronto, for which he was awarded a SSHRC Canada Graduate Scholarship. His thesis, supervised by John Borrows, argued for the resurgence and contemporary application of Haudenosaunee legal principles within existing governing structures in KahnawaÌ€:ke. Building upon his LL.M research, Brandon’s doctoral research will focus on the role that the resurgence of Haudenosaunee law can play in advancing reconciliation with the State.
