The unfinished business of “Decolonizing”

•Claim our Land•Testimonies thru oral evidence•continued story telling•celebrating the fact we are still here•remembering our past and how we responded to that time•Indigenizing - meaning we draw on our traditions•Intervening - stepping up to the plate•revitalize our language and lifeways•connecting to our families in other parts of the country•Gendering the Environment to its proper element•i.e: water as a feminine element•reframing for greater control•Sharing of knowledge
