*** MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT ***
Dear Colleague,
On behalf of the CFAR Board of Directors I am excited to announce our 8th AnnualConference and Golf Tournament celebrating our 10th year. This year’s theme is“Social License: Community, Approval, Acceptance”. We believe this is a progression from our highly successful “Walking in Two Worlds - Relational Engagement” program from one year ago. We also feel it will meet or exceed CFAR member expectations given the landscape that defi nes relationships between Aboriginal Communities, Aboriginal Relations practitionersand Government offi cials.
The CFAR team has been working hard by recruiting a range of speakers (including leaders and practitioners) representative of each sectors of CFAR membership with the objective of creating dialogue and discussing issues related to Aboriginal Community Engagement. CFAR takes pride in being the only organization in Canada that brings together Aboriginal Community representatives, Aboriginal Relations practitioners and Government representatives to create safe, respectful dialogue while building professional networks and lasting relationships.
The CFAR Board and staff eagerly await the pleasure of your attendance at this year’sconference and golf tournament.
Sincerely,
Todd BelotPresident, Circle for Aboriginal Relations Society

PETER DAWSON • Professor in the Department of Anthropology & Archaeology, University of Calgary
Dr. Peter Dawson is a Professor in the Department of Anthropology and Archaeology and a Research Associate at the Arctic Institute of North America. He has worked for over 20 years in the Canadian Arctic, where he has studied Inuit history and culture. His current research focuses on the digital preservation of cultural heritage.
In the Canadian Arctic, many Inuit Elders worry about the loss of traditional knowledge, especially place names and stories connected to the landscape. In this talk, Dawson discusses the development and use of an Internet based application called Arctic IQ, which allows Inuit Elders and other knowledgeable persons to record traditional place names directly onto electronic maps. These maps are interactive, searchable, and can be accessed from any computer, tablet, or smart phone with an Internet connection. He discusses how this kind of“crowdsourcing” model can empower individuals and communities to create, manage and archive their owntraditional knowledge projects, as well as create educational content for young people.

JAMES DASCHUK • University of Regina, Faculty of Kinesiology & Health Studies
James Daschuk, Clearing the Plains: Disease, Politics of Starvation, and the Loss of Aboriginal Life. Regina: University of Regina Press, 2013.
In this sweeping and disturbing account, James Daschuk chronicles the role thatepidemic disease, global trade, the changing environment and government policy had on the lives of Aboriginals living on the Canadian Plains from the early eighteenthcentury to the end of the nineteenth. Daschuk skillfully draws on ethno-history, medical
history, environmental history, economic history and political economy to present a compelling overall analysis. He situates his discussion in the broader historical context of the Columbian exchange, the Great Land Rush, the rise of aglobal capitalist economy, and the dispossession of Aboriginal peoples across the globe. As Daschuk persuasively illustrates, the pervasive problems of poor health and poverty facing Aboriginal communities today have deep,complex and systemic roots. Initially, the biological impact of disease that resulted from the expansion of trade devastated some First Nations but presented economic and territorial opportunities for others. But the story of the spread of disease as an organic process gave way to the willful malevolence of human actors. The demographic
collapse of the western Aboriginal population after 1870, due to tuberculosis, can be traced directly to the Canadian government’s decision to use the “politics of starvation” to force Aboriginal compliance with the state’s development agenda and to eliminate what they considered an impediment to “national” development. Daschuk offers a powerful reminder that Canada has an imperial past of its own, in contrast to the classic myth of Canada as the “peaceable” and “lawful” kingdom. The legacy of racist policies that naturalized Aboriginals as unhealthy, physically weak and unable to adapt to the modern world, remains with us today.
