The KA NA TA Conversations

The KA NA TA Conversations bring together leading Indigenous and Canadian thinkers to reflect, in a new way, upon Canadian identity and potential.

The KA NA TA Conversations recall the original relationships (as between Jacques Cartier and the Iroquois and Huron who explained, pointing that this land was 'ka na ta' or the village) and explore the pressing need to correct misunderstandings and injustices of the past as a key element of constructing the Canadian identity of the future.

The KA NA TA Conversations are designed to inspire and encourage new conversations among all Canadians through embracing an Indigenous worldview. The series began at the University of Winnipeg on October 5, 2011.
