The Colloquium ” Champlain on the Anishinabe Aki: Histories and Memories of an Encounter” welcomed more than 250 people at Carleton on September 19 and 20 2013. For the coming year, we will be working at furthering exchanges of public history, by enriching the digital repository, encouraging projects involving academia and the communities interested in the history of firstencounters. The project benefits from a SSHRC “Connection” grant.
