DESCRIPTION:The Cambridge Tax Discussion Group presents our first talk of 
 the term by Kyle Willmott.\n\nAbstract: The presentation examines the stra
 tegic role of tax in relation to Canada’s colonial administration of Ind
 igenous nations and the broader role of tax in relation to settler colonia
 lism. I will discuss some of the ongoing analytical problems in tax schola
 rship in relation to colonialism and look to build an approach that focuss
 es on the informal and ideational life of tax. The case study examines the
  First Nations Financial Transparency Act\, which paired ideas about trans
 parency with taxation\, accountability\, and citizenship. I aim to show ho
 w the state bureaucracy aimed to re-make Indigenous political identity aro
 und ‘taxpaying’.\n\nABOUT OUR PRESENTER\n \nKyle Willmott is Assistant

 n\, Indigenous-settler relations\, settler colonialism\, and liberalism. H
