As a Non-native i believe ways I can approach decolonization is by debunking ideas that we have specifically been told that has been filtered with white history and truly informing myself on certain topics. Doing my own research and listen to Natives speak on their experiences will be very informal and allowing me to be an ally for these minority groups.

For me

With the understanding of decolonization

The first step is to stop seeing each other as different race but as people one people

Different views ,different cultures with different histories, we should learn to teach each other our values and indigenous knowledge.

When looking at how i can help in decolonization i will firstly consider those actions within my control.

I can help by creating more awareness through social media as well as encouraging on teaching about Indigenous people and cultures in schools. I will also speak up against discrimination against indigenous people in my work place.

What are actions you can take to take part in decolonization?

The actions that I can take to be a part of decolonization are increasing my knowledge about indigenous history, respecting the land we live in, acknowledge indigenous knowledge and work, building long-term trustworthy relationships with the people, helping people to raise their voices against discrimination. Also, it requires our commitment. Actively engaging in conversations with the indigenous people is also an action that I need to take. We should not consider anyone superior or inferior and should focus on aspect of equality in order to take part in decolonization.

The way I can help to take action is by taking a stand on equality. Sometimes we just need someone to understand things from both sides and see thing from each person point of view. We also need a neutral person who can be a voice of reason and also be someone who can take responsibility of the part played in the division. I also believe I can play a part by being educated about their history and being more open to finding out the things they’ve experienced as being indigenous people.

The actions that I can take are engaging and keeping the conversation going and take a stand as to what it really means to be equal. We may all look different but for the most part, we all have 2 eyes, 2 ears, a nose, a mouth, 2 arms and hands, 2 legs...we need to embrace the differences and work together.

One of the actions I can take is to share the news through social media to spread awareness. In addition to that, I can research the information I am sharing to ensure that it is accurate. Another action I can take is to sign and encourage others to sign petitions that aid Indigenous communities. Lastly, I can attend webinars to understand and expand on my knowledge of Indigenous communities and issues, thus being able to move forward with a greater understanding and how I can do my part to help.

At the outset, decolonization is faced by the natives and these people are struggling for the rights, basic rights that we have. Moreover we don't even think about how important these rights can be for a person who is fighting and may not be able to get them. Its said that " one small voice can start movements", so I think there are ways through which I can be a part of it and bring a change. I can start by gaining self knowledge and and educating people around me about the same, and stand up for the people who are fighting. Its time for us to come together and bring a change for our people

Hi, my name is Rohit and I am going to tell you about the action which is needed for taking part in decolonization. in this modern era, there are lots of people who migrate for different reasons and some prefer to live while others, for work ,exploration or travel. as a result of this, discrimination among them is decreasing as people are learning about various religion and culture. so, we should respect ones culture and ethnic value and try to make good elation for future

What are actions you can take to take part in decolonization?

To begin with, I think that Decolonization might begin with the knowledge and the fact that there is Natives people struggling for the rights that we already have, is important to be conscious about their situation and the consequences, this is a collective fight, we need to exchange the system in order to make this rights equal, more than occasional support only when something pops up they need solidarity, they need a commitment from us, where we can dialogue and discuss, and create they life that we all deserve, this is a process but also there is a goal.

Based on the article, Decolonizing together. I believe that there are ways that I can take part in decolonization. First by realizing the importance of solidarity, taking responsibility and self-determination. In this being said, I can support the indigenous by getting self educated about their history and building a long term relationship that they can gradually earn my trust.

Based off of this weeks reading "Decolonizing Together". I came to the realization that I can participate in the decolonization movement. I can support and stand by the people who have lost everything, who have had their identity, beliefs and the way of life stolen from them. I have a voice and can stand up for people who have had theirs lost. This is not to say just accept what has happened but to take responsibility and fight for equality and for us to be as one. As I continue to learn what has happened to the indigenous people, it hurts my heart that they were ever treated like this. The land and way of life was stolen from them. Its time for us to make a change, and continue fighting for them.

What actions can I do to take part in decolonization?  I believe by acknowledging the good, bad and ugly truth about the history in Canada.  Our country likes to pride as a multicultural society that accepts everyone as they are, but clearly there is so much work that needs to be done.  I feel entering in the SSW Program will help me with the skills and knowledge end the practice of colonization.  Being told that your people's practice and ways of life are wrong, and you must conform to the standard "norms".  Who created these norms?  Standing by and supporting people so they don't lose their culture, identity, and traditions of our ancestors.

In order to take part in decolonization there is need to realize responsibilities and to practice self determination.
I can take part in decolonization by checking aspirations of people alonewith that understanding the framework of economic system and making people work together for their rights.

Based on week 3 reading by Harsh Walia
Decolonization : Culture and economic freedom,right and ability of indigenous  people to practice self determination over their land culture and economic status.
Actions we need to take:
It’s a work that belongs to all of us, to think about our relationships with land, to embrace our responsibility and to oppose faults rather than accepting them, make us walk on the path of equality and our responsibility of addressing inequality through communication which helps us to treat the natives and non-natives justly.

Based off this weeks reading "Decolonizing Together" by Harsha Walia, I have a better understanding of how I can take part in decolonization. Recognition. As stated in our reading, Walia mentions how recognizing myself as a non-native who has benefited from the illegal settlement and he appropriation of Indigenous peoples' resources, I can begin the process of solidarity within the Indigenous peoples' community. By recognizing this truth, it opens up the door for dialogue and positive relationships between natives and non-natives. Accepting this truth is a necessary step in the process of decolonization.

In order to take part in decolonization, I need to understand what I can control what I can do to help and that is to teach myself and learn about ones culture. Teach myself that I am doing this not because of my own pleasure but because it is the right thing to do. Treat others the way you want to be treated, Acknowledge the land you're in and respect the work of the indigenous people.

Hear and share their stories, be humble, volunteer or donate to non profit organizations that supports indigenous communities, understand their struggles,  and let their voices be heard.

Guilt is a feeling, but not a motivator. I feel shame in what has happened in the past. Digging yourself a hole in this emotion won't provide action. Knowledge is power! We need to keep talking, keep speaking, and start remembering. Everyone and everything has a purpose. Words that I heard and stuck with me from the readings are where I might be able to start.
Connection
Strategy
Shared expieriences
Peace
Decolonization rests on all of us
Restore balance
Environmental respect
Standing at the picket line.......that helped, but continuing to move forward and continuing to address will heal.

Hello my name is Navjot Kaur and here I am going to talk about the action which is required to take part in decolonization . As we know nowadays, most of the people move from one place to another in order to get better lifestyle and in my point of view it seems great because by doing this people not only able to get to know about the history of different places but it also seems great to understand about the term equality , freedom as well social interactions and for that purpose we have to learn that we all are same . So without any kind of discrimination we have to respect ones cultural and ethnic values and try to make good relations for future.

I recently learned one of my Grandparents or Great-grandparents are Native, even before that I believed that everything happening in society was just off.... But in my opinion we need to stop labeling ourselves as one vs another and all come together because we all want the same things freedom to be heard and for things to be done for everyone. We need to all accept the truths that we are in fact on land that belongs to the natives and move accordingly. Once we accept the truth we need to accept the consequences that come with denying the true history of Canada. We need to work towards a future that includes us all as one.
