Chief Clarence Louie : Rez Rules
Date: Monday, December 06, 2021
Time: 7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
In 1984, at the age of twenty-four, Clarence Louie was elected Chief of the Osoyoos Indian Band in the Okanagan Valley. Nineteen elections later, Chief Louie has led his community for nearly four decades.
In his new book Rez Rules, Chief Louie recalls his upbringing in Osoyoos and his long and remarkable journey through Indigenous education, activism, entrepreneurship and leadership. Equal parts memoir and urgent call to action; Rez Rules takes aim at systemic racism and examines the relationship between First Nations and colonial Canada and the United States, while encouraging Indigenous people to look to the past to guide them into the future.
Chief Clarence Louie discusses his new book Rez Rules and his common-sense blueprint for the future of First Nations communities on Turtle Island and beyond.
