PowerPoint Key terms:

"Colonization is an ongoing process of control by which a central system of power dominates the surrounding land and its components (people, animals etc.)"

Decolonization is the goal of undoing/removing/reversing the presence of colonization in order to regenerate Indigenous knowledge, epistemologies, culture, and ways of life.

Decolonization can be the removal of colonialism not only physically and politically on a large scale, but also on a personal/community level.
