the colonial code of relations

the colonial code of relations taken from various sources, including newspapers, magazines, counselling and historical textbooks, documents from counselling and mental health agencies, the DSM-IV, and other professional texts or brochures.

You are encouraged to draw from poetry, biographies of women, philosophical writings, and non-therapeutic literature to access the broader lived experience of women dealing with oppression.

QUESTION:Identify the ways in which Indigenous women respond to (e.g., resist, speak back to, circumvent, avoid, contest, refuse to be content with) formulations of the colonial code that portray them as ill, broken, pathological, passive victims, lacking information, falsely conscious, unconsciously oppressed, in need of assistance or enlightening, or in other deficit categories.

Refer to as many of the course readings (required and supplementary), and other resources that you find applicable. Begin by outlining the four or five examples, and then develop each one using relevant sources to explain what the codes are and how Indigenous women respond to them.
