Synopsis

Decolonization and Me Conversation Cards offer an opportunity to reflect and learn together about sensitive topics such as residential school denialism, Orange Shirt Day, Truth and Reconciliation, and our personal relationship with these topics.

Adapted from the best-selling book Decolonization and Me, these unique cards encourage reflection by exploring the four stages that Canadians need to progress through in our efforts to move forward together. These stages include Denialism, Acknowledgement of the Truth, Acceptance and Responsibility, and Healing Together.

Adapted by Kristy McLeod (Métis Scholar), with approval from Phyllis Webstad, whose story inspired the Orange Shirt Day movement, Decolonization and Me Conversation Cards are perfect for any individual, group, or team who would like to engage in dialogue and learn together. This deck of cards comes in a clamshell box with a guidebook to assist users in gaining more knowledge and navigating self-reflection in a safe and thoughtful manner.
