ABSTRACT
In the Inuvialuit Settlement Region in Arctic Canada, many households experience food insecurity. This chapter discusses evolving relationships between university-based researchers, a regional Inuit organisation and female, Indigenous residents of remote Inuit communities working as peer researchers during a participatory food costing project. The project demonstrated the feasibility of a peer research process in the context of supporting remote community food security, while recognising that this requires the conscientious navigation of diverse challenges. Engaging peer researchers can enhance the richness, rigour, nuance and local relevance of enquiry while affirming the importance of Indigenous perspectives on health and social research.
