As we continue to redress the effects of individualism on our psychological theorizing and practice, bending toward more interdependent understandings, both past ancestors and new generations enter our horizons with gathered force. If we include the work of reckoning with the debts of our ancestors as part of individuation, what might this process look like? From my own engagement with this effort and from witnessing the experiences of others, I offer a map of the tasks associated with the return of stolen and excess assets, resources, power, and privilege by white people in the United States to the commons. I hope there will be analogies and divergences that can be brought forward in our discussion with regard to participants’ own countries of origin.
