ABSTRACT

In this chapter, the authors discuss the academic preparation they have received as Indigenous researchers and its relevance to the research they desire to see and participate in. They discuss how Indigenous Research Methods can be used with Indigenous communities while maintaining good relations with those involved. The authors describe the relationality of Indigenous scholars working and learning from other Indigenous scholars through storying and connection. One big difference in doing participatory work is all of the people have the data and there could be any number of projects coming out of one project. Sandi Wemigwase A large part of what is happening is being around Indigenous scholars, Indigenous students, and the Indigenous community. Indigenous scholars should also have control to teach the things that need to be taught and not necessarily the things the institution wants them to teach.
