 
39th Annual Trent Temagami Weekend
September 22-25, 2011
For Registration and Waiver Forms and the Information Sheet for Trent Temagami Colloquium (Weekend) go to www.trenttemagami.ca
Each September, students, staff, faculty and alumni from Trent
University and elsewhere meet at Camp Wanapitei, on the shores of
beautiful Lake Temagami in Ontario, to canoe, hike, share food,
and engage with ideas that matter to them.
This unique event celebrates original research. Presentations on
an eclectic range of topics from environmental history of Ontario's
Near North, to indigenous worldviews, to the politics of surfing,
taking place in the evenings. Days are spent on the land.
The weekend is also about sharing: among Canadian, Aboriginal,
and international students of diverse backgrounds; and among students
and teachers of different disciplines. The sharing of traditional
skills, music and dance (including a Saturday night square dance!)
is another highlight.
These activities take place in conjunction with the annual Aboriginal
Studies Colloquium, enabling participants to attend a variety of
panel discussions and presentations on current Aboriginal issues.
The Trent Temagami Weekend takes our studies out of the classroom
and onto the land. The result is an enriching experience that brings
many of us back year after year. We hope you and your friends can
join us!
This event is open to all Trent students, faculty, staff, and
alumni. However, there is only space for 100 participants, so register
early! A special invitation is extended to international students!!
