RED POWER AND THE GLOBAL SIXTIES 
 
My talk will discuss histories of 鈥淩ed Power鈥� in Canada within a broader context of global anti-colonial and anti-racist movements of the 1960s and early 1970s. I want to make sense of the complicated ways that global reference points were used to describe local protests; how mainstream media, police and government, for example, often framed such high profile moments, to borrow Trouillot 91制片厂 鈥檚 words, as impossible events that only took place because of various 鈥渙utside鈥� influences. I will then discuss how Indigenous activists challenged such discourse by insisting that, for example, park occupations, border protests and rights marches be understood within longer histories of empire and resistance; ideas and actions that were shaped both by local experience as well as transnational processes.
