Tamara Starblanket is the recipient of the 2020 Nora and Ted Sterling Prize in Support of Controversy for her book Suffer the Little Children: Genocide, Indigenous Nations and the Canadian State. Starblanket’s book provides an international legal analysis of genocide-intentional acts done to destroy a group of people. Her book proves, according to international law, that Canada committed genocide against Indigenous Peoples.
Starblanket will receive the Sterling Prize at an award ceremony on Thursday, Oct. 29 at the Native Education College in Vancouver. Following the ceremony, Starblanket will give a presentation on Canada’s role in changing the definition of genocide and the legal impact internationally. The lecture will be livestreamed and free to view with registration.
