Pathways to decolonization, Indigenization, and reconciliation
Reflection: Journaling activity
Locating yourself within the reconciliation process and Calls to Action
We invite you to use 2-3 of the following questions to guide your reflection on what you learned in this module.
Document your reflection on paper or in a digital notebook.
- As an educator, how do you see your role in decolonization, indigenization, and reconciliation?
- If you are an Indigenous person, what role do you envision for non-Indigenous people who are working toward reconciliation? As you develop curricula, how can you engage with non-Indigenous people in this work?
- If you are a non-Indigenous person, how do you see reconciliation applying to your own life? What is your role and responsibility in contributing to reconciliation?
- How do decolonizing and Indigenizing curriculum support reconciliation? What are the benefits for Indigenous students? What are the benefits for non-Indigenous students? What are the benefits for society as a whole?
- Choose three Calls to Action that either relate to your discipline or that you can create links and interdisciplinary connections with. What practical ways could you develop to advance these Calls to Action in your life and profession?
