Land, Decolonization and Self-Determination aims to demystify the process of
decolonization in the 'Canadian' state. The conference will bring together
those at the forefront of self-determination struggles, and organizers and
activists participating in solidarity work across Turtle Island (ie. occupied
North America).

This conference will strategize ways to dismantle the colonial 'Canadian'
state, break down the walls of Fortress North America, and forge links of
resistance. Let us share information, advance dialogue and fight together.
