Decolonizing Public Places: Reclaiming Meeting Spaces Through Acts of Resistance and Resurgence; The City Project, Book 3 Volume 3 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781773371191)

Through acts of resistance and resurgence, Indigenous people are reclaiming public places in Winnipeg. In Decolonizing Public Places, Sadie Lavoie explores the history of Indigenous resistance within Winnipeg since Idle No More in 2012, and how that protest played a pivotal role in the Indigenous cultural resurgence of reclaiming space within the city. Lavoie uses their experience to uncover how Indigenous people used places and spaces to revive their decolonial narratives from Indigenous ways of living, knowing and being. As public space in Winnipeg is reclaimed, Lavoie discovers how this newfound inclusion is shaping relationships within Indigenous communities, as well as how this movement connects Indigenous nations with their co-existing treaty partners. Decolonizing Public Places is part of The City Project, a series edited by Emma and Michel Durand-Wood.
