Decolonization is a process. Decolonization means collaboration. Collaboration means listening, building trust, creating mutual relationships. Non-Indigenous educators often feel fear, fear of appropriation or misrepresentation. This fear may be caused by lack of trust and lack of relationships that we have with Indigenous colleagues and communities.
