1) Thinking back to what we have read and discussed last week regarding talks about race and how it should be openly discussed, do you think CRT is more effective targeting this issue because its basic premise is on the idea that racism is endemic in society? How would changing the perspective from White-Eurocentric historical context to persons of color affect such conversation? Also, what are some possible dangers in that? Think back to the Chicano Study in Arizona.
2) Similar to the Chicano study, how do you balance educational and cultural, or positive aspect, of the Native Americans to the anger and oppression students and even teachers might feel toward American colonization when studying the foundation of it all that is based on imperialism, colonization, White supremacy and material gain? Is it possible to take a non-white perspective without feeling any sort of anger or oppression?
3) The goal is to "move away from colonization and assimilation to more self-determination and tribal sovereignty." However, it's a very broad and almost too theoretic. What are some realistic and pragmatic ways to help this theory come to life?
