W.L. Morton Community Lecture: Jocelyn Thorpe & Victoria Grant

Named in honour of W.L. Morton, the Canadian historian and former Master of Trent's Champlain College, in 2025-26, this prestigious lecture will feature Dr. Jocelyn Thorpe (University of Manitoba) in conversation with Victoria Grant, O.C, ICD.D., Loon Clan and member of the Teme-Augama Anishnabek, for a public talk, free and open to all.

The two will discuss the history of n’Daki Menan—the territory of the Teme-Augama Anishnabai—and how it became famous among non-Indigenous people as part of the vast Canadian wilderness. They will also examine the Teme-Augama Anishnabai’s longstanding claim to territory and recognition, and consider responsibilities in the present that accompany learning about the past. None of us can choose where we come from, but all of us can play a role in creating a just and sustainable future.

Attendees to the talk will receive a discounted admission to the Canadian Canoe Museum.
