Decolonization and Reconciliation
The following resources were originally from the Carleton 2019 course, “Re Conciliation, Decolonization and Indigenization,” which is now the Decolonization and Reconciliation course 2020. We would like to thank the original contributors, who designed and developed this course in 2019, Dr. Patricia McGuire and Dr. Beth Martin. MSW students, Andrea Blanchette and Kate Carroll re-designed the curriculum in 2020.
