Decolonization And Me - Conversation Cards about Truth and Reconciliation

Decolonization and Me Conversation Cards are a thoughtful educational resource designed to encourage meaningful discussions about Indigenous history, residential schools, Orange Shirt Day, and Truth and Reconciliation in Canada.

Adapted from the book Decolonization and Me: Conversations About Healing a Nation and Ourselves, these cards invite individuals and groups to examine personal biases, challenge misconceptions and reflect on their responsibilities in the reconciliation process.

The conversations explore four important stages: Denialism, Acknowledgement of the Truth, Acceptance and Responsibility, and Healing Together. Through guided questions and reflection, the cards encourage honest dialogue, understanding and a greater awareness of Indigenous experiences and perspectives.

Developed by Métis scholar Kristy McLeod with the approval of Phyllis Webstad, founder of the Orange Shirt Day movement and a residential school survivor, this deck is suitable for personal reflection, classrooms, workplaces, community groups and facilitated discussions.

Why These Cards Matter

Truth and Reconciliation requires more than acknowledging the past. It involves listening, learning, confronting uncomfortable truths and taking responsibility for meaningful change. These conversation cards provide a practical starting point for those willing to engage in that important work.
