Jonathan is recognized for his knowledge of the heritage and material culture of Indigenous peoples, most notably the wampum and the Huron-Wendat. He has written some forty publications and scientific papers, and is the author of the authoritative book “La « monnaie des Sauvages » : Les colliers de wampum d’hier à aujourd’hui” (Septentrion, 2004). Jonathan Lainey studied Anthropology and Native Studies, and holds a Master’s Degree in History from Université Laval.
In this discussion, panelists discuss what they think we should do as teachers, historians and every day people to underline the importance of history, but also to watch out for the abuses of control of this historical narrative.
In this presentation, Jean-Pierre Morin discusses the absence of history in the federal government and asks “What would we need to do to ensure that history can meet the needs of those making decisions?”
In this presentation, Rose Fine-Meyer discusses her studies of the relationship between curricula, pedagogical practices, and place-based learning experiences as it relates to women’s history.
