MEGAMIND

March 15th – 7 pm

The brilliant and diabolical super-villain Oobermind has been attempting to conquer Earth for over 20 years but, each time, he's been thwarted by his arch nemesis, the caped superhero Metro Man. But all that changes one day when Oobermind accidentally kills Metro Man in the throes of one of his evil plans. Suddenly finding himself without a foe to overcome, the despondent evil genius decides that the only way out of his rut is to create a new super rival. He's a bigger, better and stronger opponent than Metro Man ever was.

But when the former good guy begins to wage his own war aimed at destroying the world, Oobermind must decide: Can he defeat his own (now) diabolical creation? Can the worlds smartest man make the smart decision for once? Can the Evil Genius switch sides and become the Hero of his own story?

“Indigenous Peoples: Land Rights, Right Relations”

Whose Land it is anyway? Why can’t we just get along?

Why are Indigenous people in Canada still the most impoverished, the least healthy and the most imprisoned? The answer to this troubling question lies beyond the injustices of the past. Elders point to ongoing rights violations, in particular the fundamental right of self-determination.

Self-determination includes the right to determine what happens to your land and resources. Securing an adequate land and resource base is key to repairing the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada today.

Learn how land rights relate both to the history of injustice and to the hope for the future. This workshop is a part of the KAIROS 2010 – 2011 campaign: The Land, Our Life: Indigenous Rights and Our Common Future.
