Oooh! On Savage Shores is now available to pre-order IN FRENCH! (And, interestingly, using a term for Indigenous peoples in the title that is not used even once in the body of the book... 😆) www.librairienouvelle.com/livre/241923...

Better advertising to come, but I’m excited to announce that registration is now live for our very heavily subsidised Teaching Indigenous Histories & Perspectives Conference on 28 June! Bursaries for travel are available plus free follow-up support. Please do share with all your teacher networks!
