    I think that self-reflection can be one of the hardest elements to examine as it requires self-awareness of your own assumptions and beliefs, examining your family’s connection to colonialism, and examining your own power and privilege. This can be the most powerful element for addressing power imbalances in relationships and creating a culturally safe environment (Barlow, Reading, & Canadian Aboriginal AIDS Network, 2008).
