> Can Canadian nationalism coexist with decolonization?

> resources, and Native knowledge and culture?
> What about the responsibility of those with privilege to make  
> sacrifices to end the system that grants this privilege?
>  How does a non-Native person decolonize their mind?
>  How can we build an anti-colonial culture in Guelph and Southern  
> Ontario?
>  What is the role of non-Native allies in decolonization in an era  
> of extreme climate change?
>
> "I think the first step has to be a truth-telling step. Where people  
> come forward to say, as non-Native people, we claim this history and  
> acknowledge
> that it was oppressive, and we are the generation that wants to make  
> a difference. We are the generation that will not participate in  
> this any longer."
