"Decolonization Defined: Implications for Ecopsychology" by Pegi Eyers, author of Ancient Spirit Rising.

For those offering 
ecopsychology, nature relatedness or nature therapy services, here are a few questions to ponder 
as we look at how we use the term "decolonization."

• Where do you see yourself on the decolonization continuum? Do you belong to the 
historic colonizer Settler Society or the colonized group?

Are you recovering your connection to a landbase that has nurtured your people for 
generations?

• How can reparations be made to First Nations?

• Do you center Indigenous resistance in your decolonization work?

• How are you educating your own cohort on issues of racism and oppression?

• Do you consider the recovery of your own heritage part of the decolonization process?

• What habits in your thinking, or daily life, can be decolonized?

• How can you dedicate more time to the rewilding of both soul and place, and the 
protection of wild nature?
