INDIGENIZING RESEARCH: A RESOURCE GUIDE FOR INDIGENOUS PEOPLES, ACADEMICS AND POLICY MAKERS

This living resource guide was developed by members of the Co-Creation team with the purpose of sparking dialogue between Indigenous researchers, community members, activists, academics, and policy-makers to better improve research practices involving Indigenous communities.

Indigenizing research involves weaving Indigenous research methodologies, knowledges, experiences, and worldviews into scientific research - that which currently privileges Western Science and Euro-Western human-centered perspectives.

The contents of the current version include:

1. Indigenizing Research

2. Traditional Ecological Knowledge

3. Research Ethics

4. Intellectual Property

5. The Doctrine of Discovery

We encourage everyone involved in scientific research with Indigenous communities to use it as a guide. Each section also includes an extensive reading list for more resources and references on these topics.

Happy reading!
