The CMC is committed to carrying out the process of decolonization.We are in the process of changing the way we’re thinking and laying the groundwork for that change. We encourage you to engage in a process of discovery, accountability and understanding in new ways.

If you are interested in learning, in developing new understanding and in change, this is a place for you to begin your journey. Rather than asking for direction from Indigenous artists, we urge you to first do your own research; and then from that point, enter discussion.

References and resources on this webpage have been vetted by the Accountability for Change Council. We endeavour to cross-reference to the resources and information by other organizations so you can feel the breadth of the knowledge forest.

If you are approaching this for the first time, if you are learning new perspectives, we encourage you to share with people who have already gone through those steps from a settler point of view.

We are part of a root system, not the entire tree. If you have another branch to add, please let’s connect. Get involved in a network of sharing. Helps us to share in the work.

These resources are updated on a regular basis. Please send us your suggestions.
