In their positions as settler teacher educators, the authors examine how Senator Beyak’s statements expose the depth of systemic settler colonialism, anti-Indigenous racisms, and unsettling beneficiary narratives here in Canada.

Comme enseignants et enseignantes descendants des colons, les auteurs de cette communication examinent comment les déclarations de la sénatrice Beyak mettent en évidence la profondeur du colonialisme de peuplement systémique, des racismes anti-autochtones et des récits troublants des conquérants du Canada. Les auteurs demandent aux enseignants et aux éducateurs d’examiner ces racismes systémiques anti-autochtones en relation avec la façon dont ils peuvent confronter et déconstruire le colonialisme de peuplement et la conscience historique des colons dans les programmes scolaires et de formation des enseignants. En s’appuyant sur des recherches récentes effectuées par des chercheurs des Facultés d’éducation du Canada, les auteurs soutiennent que la bienveillance des colons et les racismes coloniaux systémiques anti-autochtones peuvent non seulement êtredéconstruits, mais aussi que les antiracismes peuvent aussi être reconstruits par l’entremise des relations éthiques, de la vérité et d’une pratique critique visant la réconciliation.  \nMots-clés : colonialisme de peuplement, racismes anti-autochtones, interrelations éthiques, conscience historique, formation des enseignants, logiques coloniales, déstabilisation des conquérants, éducation à la citoyenneté  \nCanadian Journal of Education / Revue canadienne de l’éducation 45:1 (2022) [www.cje-rce.ca](www.cje-rce.ca)  \nIntroduction  \nThe Red Chamber, the name by which the Canadian Senate is known, sits perched at the top of a cliff overlooking the confluence of three rivers: the Kitchissippi, the Rideau, and the Gatineau. At one time, the Anishinaabe people travelled the waters of these rivers freely; living, trapping, and trading on both sides of the watershed. Today, the settler colonial Parliament of Canada occupies the unceded and unsurrendered ancestral territories ofthe Anishinaabeg Nation.1 The Kitchissippi River is a political boundary separating the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, and the cities of Ottawa and Gatineau.
