520 |a When working with Indigenous Peoples, the helping professions, education, social work, health care and justice, reinforce the colonial lie that Indigenous Peoples need saving. Leading anti-racism scholars in this volume reveal the ways in which white settlers working in these institutions shape, defend and uphold institutional racism, even while professing to support Indigenous people. White supremacy shows up in the everyday behaviors, language and assumptions of white professionals who reproduce myths of Indigenous inferiority. White settlers have a responsibility to understand the colonial history of their professions and their complicity in ongoing violence, be it violent policing, school push-out or denial of health care. The answer isn't cultural awareness training. What's needed is radical anti-racism, solidarity and a relinquishing of the power of white supremacy.
