   * Describe how the Nishnaabeg have recognized what is essentially a “relational” analysis of class within human society with their traditional practices. (Gift-giving and redistribution of wealth were already a practice, and hoarding was seen as an insult to the community because it was recognized that one could not hoard without depriving a fellow community member)

Based on the reading, do you think Fanon wanted to limit this statement to colonialism? If not, to what extent is this true in our current society?

   * Fanon believes that newly decolonized nations are owed reparations in order to start their economies again. How should we look at this from a socialist point of view? Can decolonized nations ever fully escape from capitalist imperialism?

   * Scene at 33:54 - 37:09: Daniel goes with his daughter to see the set for the film about Columbus where Daniel is playing a native. The filmmaker (Costa) is there and he talks with Daniel a little bit before receiving a phone call. Costa speaks English on the phone. Listen carefully to what he says and pay attention to Daniel’s expressions. Pay attention to Costa’s expression when he speaks with Daniel after getting off the phone. Finally, pay attention to the expression of Belen, Daniel’s daughter, at the end of the scene. Discuss what you observe and keep in mind what it means to be recognized in political, racial, and human terms.
 
   * Scene at 1:01:19 - 1:03:24: The filmmakers need Daniel to finish their film about Christopher Columbus, but Daniel has been thrown in jail for participating in riots regarding the natives’ access to drinking water. Listen to how the filmmakers (colonizers?) talk about him, and listen to what Daniel says as he is released. Discuss.

What do you think Fanon would have to say about this scene? Is violence justified in the decolonial endeavor even if innocent, colonized subjects are hurt in the process?
