Recommendation 3:
Put the onus of learning on the actors within cultural institutions. Avoid tasking the decolonizing of an entire organization on one employee especially within Canada’s long running heritage institutions, museums, publications, and galleries, which will have deeply entrenched cultures of white supremacy.
- Avoid the single Indigenous hire into segregated positions. Only diverse, block hires of Black and Indigenous peoples moving forward, coinciding with the realization that this might mean the radical restructuring of institutions (such as retirements and staff changes), and the implementations of Indigenous and Black peoples throughout organizations in self-determined ways.
- Respect the interests of diverse Black and Indigenous peoples, and their varying desires to participate in diversity and decolonizing measures (i.e. Indigenous specific departments and programs, or self-determined integration into wider institutional spaces away from a focus on Indigenous issues).
