Description: Looking into the historical record concerning First Nations histories in the SW Ontario region. This presentation will look to paint a picture of the socio-cultural structures and influences that documented the genealogical connections of the colonial and early post-colonial eras.  Following research into pre-contact and treaty-time records and accounts of Kettle & Stony Point First Nation, Jordan will talk about his First Nations genealogical history and the complexity of the cultural dialogue and dialectic between First Nation and European life ways and socio-cultural-political perception.
