“If you have come here to help me you are wasting your time, but if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together.”
―Lilla Watson via an australian Indigenous activists group in early 1970
We raise our hands and offer our gratitude to the generations of Indigenous peoples that have resisted colonial assimilation, survived genocide. We see the work you have been doing to protect your communities from the violence that is settler colonialism. We have come to understand that as settlers here on these lands we have work to do in ourselves in order to move forward without perpetuating and replicating harm. Our offerings provide an accountability structure and brave space to connect with ourselves, and each other.
This site has been created to call other settler people, specifically white settler people into this work.
Our Unlearning aims to:
build a learning (unlearning) community that supports critical anti-racism skill building and interpersonal accountability
create a container for the transformative embodied experience of processing, integrating and practicing Indigenous specific anti-racism and Indigenous cultural safety learnings
grow our collective stamina for dismantling systems and structures of oppression in ourselves, our communities and our organizations.
Contact us to discuss a self directed learning plan as you move towards joining a white settler community of unlearning.
With so many calls to action locally and globally it is the work of white settler people to be actively anti-racist.
