DR JOHN LUTZ - Victoria in the Steps of the Transformers - Indigenous and Settler Spaces

Program Title: DR JOHN LUTZ - Victoria in the Steps of the Transformers - Indigenous and Settler Spaces
Description: Victoria is a storied place with many layers. For example, few are aware that Xehals, the great transformers of the Coast Salish world stopped here as they “made the world right” -- creating parts of Victoria’s landscape still visible today. In this UVic Café Historique talk, historian John Lutz takes us on a tour of some the places where Indigenous and colonial transformers did their work and explores some of the legacies. Victoria will never look the same to you.
