ABSTRACT
There has been increasing controversy about the absence of objectivity in research. Researchers are human beings with their own individual, subjective backgrounds. Thus, research results are bound up with the researcher’s theoretical background and methods. This lack of objectivity by the researcher is especially noticed by representatives of indigenous peoples. These representatives have seen that the so-called objective picture presented in the scientific literature of indigenous peoples has been created by researchers who see these indigenous people through the eyes of the conqueror.
