Scope and content

Series 6 documents Rodney Bobiwash's professional activities between 1991 and 2002. The records contained in this series are the product of Bobiwash's professional activities as a First Nations and anti-racist activist, and of the positions held by Bobiwash in various organizations during this time period. The records cover a wide variety of activities and contain everything from Klanbuster phone logs and white supremacist newsletters to Aboriginal Urban Alliance meeting minutes and grant and fellowship applications. Of particular interest in terms of anti-racist activities is the file /028(04) documenting the Canadian Human Rights Council federal case initiated by Bobiwash against Wolfgang Droege and the Heritage Front in 1992-1993. The series contains a large quantity of records documenting Bobiwash's work with the Center for World Indigenous Studies (C.W.I.S.) and his work with local First Nations organizations such as the Aboriginal Urban Alliance and the Native Canadian Centre Toronto. In addition, the series also contains records related to Bobiwash's national and international activities concerning various indigenous populations; records documenting Bobiwash's involvement in the Shwelkwek'welt controversy in the Shuswap, as well as his support for the preservation of the "Miami Circle"
