"Loved the joint facilitation approach and the depth of knowledge

you both bring to the table".

Lisa, 2021

We are all part of systems and have a responsibility to act.

We must apply a systemic lens to understand racism and colonialism. 

Our work recognizes that colonization is an active and ongoing reality. 

Addressing Indigenous-specific racism is non-Indigenous peoples' work.

We centre the relationship with Indigenous People and the land. 

This work requires unearthing colonial patterns to address them. 

Decolonization is a life-long process that requires ongoing commitment.
