Book: Wilful Neglect: The Federal Response to Tuberculosis Among First Nations 1867-1945. Jane Thomas
Wednesday, January 14, 2026 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm EST (GMT -05:00)

Wilful Neglect

Join Jane Thomas, to discuss her recently published book, Wilful Neglect. Drawing on the Department of Indian Affairs annual reports, memoranda, and budgets over more than seventy years, Thomas' work reveals how federal health policies, shaped without Indigenous input and rooted in colonial ideologies, allowed tuberculosis to devastate First Nations in Canada. This conversation will explore the lasting impact of these policies today and the urgent need to reckon with the legacy of systemic racism in Canada’s health systems.
