Colonization and Spirituality

Colonization, and later System Maintanence relies on the development and deployment of Ideological Institutions. Ideological Institutions help pacify a population by distributing Creation Templates designed to indoctrinate a population.

Colonization has "widely disrupted (and sometimes completely eradicated)" indigenous healing and spiritual traditions.[1]

Colonization has subjugated a "realm of health experience in which people's well-being depends on persistent relationships to particular landscape over time. Of special relevance to decolonization, such traditions frequently assume that much of the 'natural' world is animate and sentient, and that much of the power for maintaining human well-being depends on relationship with beings that inhabit specific places in the world."
