I know settler guilt is not a productive emotion but I wonder if all settlers felt a little more guilty would we finally see change #LLCU322

"I hope we walk into the future together and continue on this path towards mutual respect and reconciliation." #learntogrow #llcu322

Learning of indigenous struggle in school is a good start. But, a complete dismantle of system racism is necessary for change. #llcu322

[Lauren Lyons @llcu322llyons]

"The one who observes has the power to define." We must change our taught Canadian history from interpretation to reality. #llcu322

Amazing work. https://t.co/q9GyPfVRyH

[Ryan Little @llcu322lrittle]

The difference between how Canada is portrayed in a world stage vs our actions at home is truly stark. #llcu322

[Alixandra Glance @LLCU322aglance]

The dominant group colonizes not only land, but the mind and body. It is easier to re-claim land than Indigenous sovereignty. #LLCU322

[Lauren Lyons @llcu322llyons]

In our "multicultural paradise" we forget we live in a culture of isolation, rooted in hegemony, that makes Indigenous 2nd class. #llcu322

[Madeline Heinke @llcu322mheinke]

The Canadian public must understand that the TRC does not settle the colonial dust, and prove that Canada is a better nation. #llcu322

[Lauren Lyons @llcu322llyons]

Dialogue is not for indigenous alone, it begs non-indigenous to unlearn the colonial attitude and understand inherited privilege. #llcu322

[Lauren Lyons @llcu322llyons]

"Testimony produced for the TRC is constrained by non-Indigenous narratives of healing and closure." Conciliation > reconciliation? #llcu322

[Lauren Lyons @llcu322llyons]

Harper: "We have no history of colonialism." A PM had this delusion and was unafraid to speak it. This speaks to Canada's racism. #llcu322

"She will die by violence for she has nursed a violent thing": Klytemnestra lives by revenge and so never knows peace or healing. #LLCU322

[Lauren Lyons @llcu322llyons]

South Africa started conversations of retribution between perpetrators and victims, in juxtaposition to the guidance of the divine. #llcu322

[Lauren Lyons @llcu322llyons]

Patriarchy rules the trial in The Eumenides, while Morola celebrates women's commanding role in retribution. #juxtaposition #llcu322

[Lauren Lyons @llcu322llyons]

How does a culture switch from an engrained "eye for an eye" sense of justice to restorative justice? #llcu322

[Jing Wang @llcu332jwang]

It's hard to discuss 'forced removals' without opening a bigger can of worms known as colonialism. #llcu322

[Lauren Lyons @llcu322llyons]

"Remembering is not easy, but forgetting may be impossible." #TRC #Apartheid #llcu322

[Lauren Lyons @llcu322llyons]

The state fails in addressing how systemic racism caused so-called "black on black" violence. #llcu322

[Lauren Lyons @llcu322llyons]

"We must remember what happened in order to keep it from happening again,” #TRC #llcu322
