X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html: <p>Coming off the sesquicentennial of the Mei
 ji Restoration in 2018\, the 2018-2019 Academic Year marks another signific
 ant 150th anniversary in Japanese history: that of the settler colonization
  of the northern island of Hokkaidō\, or Ainu Moshir as it was known to the
  Indigenous Ainu peoples.  In the spirit of continuing the national moments
  of commemoration that occasioned Canada 150 and Meiji at 150\, the Centre 
 for Japanese Research proudly presents “Hokkaidō 150: Settler Colonialism a
 nd Indigeneity in Modern Japan and Beyond.” This event will mark the 150th 
 anniversary of the 1869 incorporation of the island of Ainu Moshir\, by gat
 hering academics\, artists\, musicians\, and community members from Japan\,
  Canada\, and the United States to revisit shared histories of settler colo
 nialism.  We invite members of the UBC and larger Vancouver community to re
 flect on the history of settler colonialism and its impacts on Indigenous p
 eoples\, while celebrating the local culture\, art\, and music of BC and Ho
 kkaidō as we renew our mutual commitment to international cooperation and T
 ruth and Reconciliation.</p><p><b>About the Presenter</b></p><p><img class=
