Welcoming Grand Chief Joseph Norton of the Mohawk territory Kahnawake to Dublin
Grand Chief Joseph Norton and James Kelly of ICUF
It was our great honour last week to welcome Grand Chief Joseph Norton of the Mohawk territory Kahnawake to Dublin. ICUF is exploring ways in which we can build partnership with the Indigenous Peoples of Canada, and in this context, it was our great pleasure to bring together people from academia, the arts and the social sector to welcome the Grand Chief to Dublin, and to discuss potential future collaborations.
