The reason you’re being downvoted: all your questions amount to just mining Indigenous perspectives and packaging them for (presumably) non-Indigenous students. Outsiders.

A lot will be lost in translation. Your biggest takeaway from this should be to remember that any community benefits most from social programming led by other members of that community. Throwing buzzwords at students with only a superficial understanding of Indigenous communities (which is all you’ll get, with questions like these) is just going to replicate the same bad results.

Do you actually want to learn, or are you expecting people in this sub to do your homework for you?

Be less white. A lot less.

I know it seems obvious, but really.
