- reparations is not monetary payment, but rather action, praxis.
- continuum with old movements.

- epistemicide: killing of knowledge. denial to indigenous land, cosmology, laws, etc.
- decolonization: reinstitution of indigenous sovregnity
- historicide: annihilation of history & past. Reduction to obscurity.
