Indigenizing my Praxis

Engaging in the practice of allyship involves a continuous process of unlearning and re-evaluating one's own unconscious biases. This journey is particularly significant in the context of understanding and addressing the issues faced by Indigenous communities.

Understand what it means to be an ally.
Allyship is the active, consistent, and arduous practice of unlearning and re-evaluating, in which a person in a position of privilege and power seeks to operate in solidarity with a marginalized group. An ally disrupts oppressive spaces by educating others on the realities and histories of marginalized peoples. An ally humanizes and empathizes, letting go of assumptions. Most importantly, once an ally realizes or sees, they advocate for change while recognizing their own place and space. - "How to be an Ally" Toolkit by Lauren Winkler
