Lynn Gehl’s Decolonizing The Human Spirit helped me, a descendant of the colonizers, become more aware than ever before of how my perspectives have been structured by Europeans assumptions about the domination of the state over Indigenous peoples and of humanity’s domination of nature. In this way, I hope, it contributed to the decolonization of my spirit. Peter H. Russell, University of Toronto
