Jeff Thomas is an urban-Iroquois, a member of the Onondaga (Six Nations Confederacy). His cultural practice involves archival research, curatorial projects, writing, lecturing, and advocacy. His photographic work raises issues of racial stereotyping and mutual misunderstanding through references to the histories, symbols, and actualites of urban-Indian experience. Jeff Thomas’s work is represented in art gallery and museum collections in North America and Europe. In 2004, his solo exhibition A Study of Indian-ness toured extensively in Canada.

The WCFIA Canada Program Seminar is off the record, free and open to the public, and chaired by Ruth Phillips, William Lyon Mackenzie King Visiting Professor of Canadian Studies.
