Decolonial Toolbox – Level 1
Did you know that most of the names given to Indigenous peoples throughout history were imposed by Europeans?
That’s why, in the first level of the Decolonial Toolbox – Educational Pathway, we will be introducing some knowledge about Indigenous realities. You will learn more about the terms to use when talking about Indigenous peoples, territory and colonial history.
We want to help you understand why it’s important to use the right words, and encourage further reflection on decolonizing language and integrating change into everyday interactions. We’ve put together a series of readings, podcasts and videos to help you explore these lexical notions in greater depth.
