Date: Nov. 29, 2012
Location: SFPIRG, TC326 in the Rotunda, SFU Burnaby
Time: 3:30 - 5:30pm
The West Coast is very unique in the sense that the majority of the nations that line the coast are matrilineal, we all follow our mothers. In this discussion we will talk about what it means to belong to a matrilineal based society, compare that to a monarchy and also talk about state violence against women. No registration required.
