There appear to be numerous blogs about decolonization, many which are directed towards a lack of empathy and understanding by the offspring of these colonial settlers. After viewing several, it seemed like a lot of them offered little in the way of promoting healing.

The need for  a sense of decolonization might be a difficult concept to grasp without an understanding of colonialism.

Teachers have the ability to share perspectives that promote views in more critical and thoughtful ways. The National Film Board’s web site has catalogued a number of films which offer students with different perfectives on the effects of colonization.
