El IV Coloquio REDICEC “Recuperando Chile a través del conocimiento: un modelo a ensamblar”, tiene como objetivo la búsqueda de propuestas para recuperar nuestra identidad chilena, incluyendo lo referido a la estructura social y económica, la relación con el medio ambiente, la cultura indígena, la convivencia con diversos grupos del país y el vínculo con América Latina.
Nos gustaría promover el uso del conocimiento interdisciplinario como una poderosa herramienta para permitir a recuperar nuestra humanidad, crear la colaboración, y, por último, ensamblar un Chile que sea social, ambiental y económicamente justo.
En resumen, REDICEC, con el apoyo de Chile Global – Fundación Imagen de Chile, propone a través del Coloquio dos días de paneles de discusión, talleres, presentaciones de 3-minutos, sesión de posters y una velada cultural, para dar a conocer la variedad de investigaciones que actualmente están siendo desarrolladas por investigadoras chilenas e investigadores chilenos en Canadá y el mundo.

People of the Land: Dialogue series with the Mapuche Territorial Alliance was the definitive name we used to promote the event all across campus, online and on posters. This event brought together two Indigenous leaders from the Mapuche Nation –Alberto Curamil and Miguel Melin – with Indigenous activists and scholars from North America to exchange ideas and share experiences about land recuperation, opposition to extractive industries on their traditional territories, customary law, and Indigenous childhood, language, and education.
The event took place on September 22nd and 23rd at three different venues. It was part of a series of activities organized during a week long visit of the Indigenous community leaders, which also included a workshop about land recuperation processes, a film screening and discussion, a seminar about Indigenous customary law, and a seminar about Indigenous languages and education (All activities were free and open to the entire UBC community). The series of events sought to generate a space for information sharing and debate about the contemporary processes the Mapuche nation is undergoing; to establish linkages between the ATM’s work and the struggles for Indigenous self-determination in Canada and elsewhere; and open up opportunities for collaboration and exchange between the ATM and students, researchers, academics, Indigenous groups, and activists based at UBC.
“Panel/workshop on land recuperation: Yes, the discussion has always been about land”
For this activity, together with Alberto and Miguel the main speakers were Kanahus Manuel (Secwepemc Nation) and Chief Ian Campbell (Squamish Nation). The MC for this workshop was Dr. Alejandro Rojas (UBC Faculty of Land and Food Systems). The event took place on September 22nd from 2-4pm at the UBC Liu Institute for Global Issues.
Participants heard the presentations of four presenters and then had the opportunity to engage in the discussion through questions and comments. This activity was one of the most concurred activities with and audience of approximately 70 people (see following picture).
“Planting Poverty: Film screening and discussion about the impacts of the forestry industry on Indigenous lands”
Participants watched the documentary “Plantar Pobreza” and then engaged in a discussion with our Mapuche guests, Alberto and Miguel, who are leading the struggle against the installation of aggressive forestry and other extractive megaprojects on their traditional territory, in what is now called Chile. The event took place on September 22nd from 5-7pm at the Global Lounge MediaCentre.
“Panel on Indigenous customary law: Strengthening Indigenous legal orders from within”
For this activity, together with Alberto and Miguel the main speakers were Sheryl Lightfoot (Anishinaabe Nation, UBC Political Science and First Nation Studies) and Angeline Nyce (Nisg̱a’a nation). The MC for this workshop was Dr. Eduardo Jovel (UBC Faculty of Land and Food Systems). The event took place on September 23rd from 10am-12pm at the UBC First Nations Longhouse – Sty-wet-tan Hall 1985 West Mall.
Although this panel did not have the same attendance compare to the previous workshop, the discussion around customary law at the local and global perspectives was very engaging for those that attended. Dr. Lightfoot brought her perspectives international Indigenous politics and its impacts on customary Law. On the other hand Alberto and Miguel, presented about the local experiences of Mapuche people, and their struggle to rebuild all aspects of the Mapuche culture and its sociocultural practices. As well they described an ongoing project titled “Customary Law from the Perspective of the Mapuche Kimün (Knowledge)” This project seeks to recover the conceptual bases and legal principles of Mapuche customary law that the kimche, kuyfikeche, and füchakeche (elders and wisdom-holders) hold until this day. The ultimate goal of the project is to consider the development of proposals in order to apply principles of Mapuche customary law to the Chilean legal system. Finally, Ms. Nyce discussed about the experiences of the Nisga’a Nation before and after they signed the first modern treaty. And how this treaty has impacted the lives of the Nisga’a people.

“Panel on Indigenous childhood: Language and cultural revitalization through Indigenous knowledge”
For this last panel, our Mapuche guest shared the table with Dr. Jo-ann Archibald (Sto:lo and St’at’imc Nations, UBC Faculty of Education). The MC for this workshop was Dr. Eduardo Jovel (UBC Faculty of Land and Food Systems). The event took place on September 23rd from 1-3pm at the UBC First Nations Longhouse – Sty-wet-tan Hall 1985 West Mall.
During this last panel the Mapuche guest shared presented about the difficulties the Mapuche have to overcome in order to educate their children within their own culture and language. In this opportunity Alberto mentioned the how one of the main leaders of the ATM, had to go to the capital of Chile, to carry out his formal education. However, this young leader (named Mijael Carbone) figured out a way to get back to his homeland, and thus learn from his own culture, and later on lead the resistance at the forefront of the ATM. Finally, Dr. Archival discussed about the importance of transforming education during the Indigenous early childhood. According to Dr. Archival, important factor in this transformation are: local control and parent/family involvement, Indigenous knowledge, Elders and ECE Teachers, health promotion, etc.
Finally, a picture of the Mapuche leaders, the MC of the second day, and the organizers of the events.
This event was presented with support from the Liu Institute for Global Issues, the Faculty of Forestry, the First Nations House of Learning, the Global Lounge, the Walter H. Gage Memorial Fund, the Faculty of Education, the Interdisciplinary Graduate Students Network, the Faculty of Land and Food Systems, and the School of Community and Regional Planning, all from the University of British Columbia.
“Planting Poverty: Film screening and discussion about the impacts of the forestry industry on Indigenous lands” was an activity open to the entire UBC community. Participants watched the documentary “Plantar Pobreza” and then engaged in a discussion with Alberto Curamil and Miguel Melin, two Mapuche activists from the Alianza Territorial Mapuche (ATM), who are leading the struggle against the installation of aggressive forestry and other extractive megaprojects on their traditional territory, in what is now called Chile.

Friends,
Right now, I’m risking arrest outside the Prime Minister’s residence with dozens of other people from across Canada to demand a freeze on the tar sands expansion.
I’m nervous, unsure about how this day will unfold, and, surprisingly, I’m also full of hope. I have hope that the new leader of Canada will carve out a different path for this country than the one we’ve seen over the last 10 years — one that honours the rights of Indigenous peoples and respects the limits of our climate. This is the first day that Justin Trudeau has woken up as Prime Minister of Canada, and we’re making sure that we get to his doorstep before Big Oil does.
But I’ll be honest: I’m also afraid. I’m afraid of what will happen if Prime Minister Trudeau doesn’t hear our call. More toxic oil poisoning our sacred waters, more wildfires blazing through rainforests, coastal nations submerged underwater, portions of the Middle East becoming completely uninhabitable — it’s a future I’d rather not imagine. It’s certainly not the kind of world I want to leave behind for my two sons.
Now is the time for us to change the direction in which this country is headed. In just three weeks, our Prime Minister will head to Paris to take part in the most important round of international climate negotiations of the decade — and he needs to go in knowing that climate action and tar sands just don’t mix.
If you add your name before November 29th, we’ll make sure that he receives your message before he goes to Paris.
I’m also hoping you’ll help us tell the story of the incredibly beautiful action taking place outside the Prime Minister’s residence right now — click here to view live updates from the action. Join the conversation on social media using the #ClimateWelcome hashtag.
