Decolonize U

Decolonize U is a knowledge-sharing platform to provide skills and learning in the fight for climate justice and the protection of Mother Earth. We know that we hold the solutions to climate change. Decolonize U is a platform to weave those solutions together, bring them to our communities, and organize for our collective liberation. We envision a place where education is a weapon in our fight for Indigenous Sovereignty.

In Decolonize U, we support and empower Indigenous communities with theories grounded and centered in Indigenous knowledge and trainings meant to transfer tangible skills to relatives on the frontlines. These trainings will include “relational skills” like Organizing 101, Mutual Aid 101, and Know Your Rights 101; and “practical skills” like Basic Life Support (BLS), CPR, and Food Sovereignty 101. We work to widen and deepen our collective political analyses and practice. 

Our trainings aim to use active engagement as a primary tool of education. This is based on the idea that our people have the knowledge and power to transform our conditions. It is most effective when that power and knowledge is wielded collectively to protect Mother Earth, the sacred, and our Peoples. 

Decolonize U is building trainings and toolkits for Indigenous Peoples to use in defending our homelands and building a better world for future generations. All of our trainings will be accessible on our website for all to access. We are ensuring that our traditions, cultural practices, and lifeways remain vibrant and thriving for future generations.
