DESCRIPTION:Join us for an Annie MacDonald Langstaff workshop with Professo
 r Beth Piatote\, UC Berkeley. Tomlinson Visiting Professor John Borrows an
 d Boulton Fellow Kerry Sloan will provide commentary.\n\nAbstract\n\nIn he
 r talk\, Professor Piatote will consider Louise Erdrich’s LaRose\, the sec
 ond in a trilogy of novels that\, as they unfold\, all show the failures o
 f law\, whether indigenous or settler-colonial\, to provide satisfaction\,
  or what we may consider “justice” in the face of loss. Given the failures
  of “justice\,” the question arises whether the “pursuit of justice” is a 
 reasonable purpose of law at all. The question of how to go on living in t
 he face of loss becomes the central theme of LaRose\, and offers an altern
 ative vision of the function of law through the animation of older Ojibwe 
 practices of law. Drawing upon history and indigenous concepts of law as t
 he base of analysis\, this paper explores the novel’s vision of survival i
 n the face of loss\, the reverberations of colonial violence in the presen
 t\, the particular burdens borne by women\, and the difficult task of carr
 ying out indigenous principles of law.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nBeth Piatot
 e is Associate Professor at UC Berkeley\, with research interests in Nativ
 e American literature\, history\, law and culture\, American literature an
 d cultural studies\, and Ni:mi:pu: (Nez Perce) language and literature.\n
