- the conquest of the continent and the colonial consciousness

- residential schools and policies of outright extermination of indigenous peoples

- land rights, and corporate and governmental theft and desecration of indigenous land and water

- Canada's role in genocide abroad: Iraq, Haiti, the Americas, South Pacific Islands, the Middle East

- Indigenous resistance and the responsibilities and opportunities for non-indigenous resistance

- decolonization and self-determination
