In 1982, Georges, Hugues, R茅gent, and Konrad Sioui were charged and convicted of illegally camping, starting fires, and cutting down trees in Jacques-Cartier Park in Qu茅bec. They appealed their case to the Supreme Court of Canada. In R. v. Sioui, also known as the Sioui Decision, the Siouis won a unanimous decision at the Supreme Court of Canada in 1990. The ruling acknowledged that a document known as 鈥渢he Huron-British Treaty of 1760鈥� signed between British General James Murray and the Huron-Wendat chief was still valid as it was an international agreement entered into between sovereign nations and it protected their right to use the land for ceremonial purposes. During this webinar, former Chief Konrad Sioui discusses the role this formative case played in his life and career and how it changed the way Indigenous treaties are interpreted in Canadian courts of law since then.

This event will be held in French but participants may ask questions in French or English.

Konrad Sioui is a hereditary chief of the Bear Clan of the Huron-Wendat Nation, Grand Chief of the Council of his Nation, and has been elected three consecutive times as Regional Chief of the Assembly of First Nations of Quebec and Labrador.

He was also the official and national spokesperson on constitutional reform issues between 1984 and 1994.

In 1991, we won a landmark, unanimous decision at the Supreme Court of Canada against Quebec and Canada known as the Sioui Decision. This ruling acknowledged that treaties entered into between the Crown and First Nations are international agreements entered into by sovereign nations.

Sioui is a dedicated humanitarian and diplomat and is a respected and skilled negotiator. He pursues a simple and traditional lifestyle with his wife, Linda Rock of the Innu Nation, and his four children on the Huron Reserve at Wendake, Quebec.

The world faces catastrophic climate change and ecological ruin. Often, solutions are sought that reassert the modern logic of technological mastery over nature. In contrast, Indigenous ways of life ground our responsibilities in concrete relationships with humans and all other living things. By learning from Indigenous peoples, we can discover how to be guests of the land and we can envision a path away from the Anthropocene.
