Moving between theory and practice within an Indigenous research paradigm
Open accessAbstract
There has been a paradigm shift amongst Indigenous peoples and researchers about how research with Indigenous peoples is conceived, implemented, and articulated. The result has been referred to as the Indigenous research paradigm (Wilson, 2003) and has taken the shape of Indigenous research methodologies and processes. The purpose of this article is to discuss the tenets of the Indigenous research paradigm in relation to its practical application within two research projects conducted in higher education settings in British Columbia, Canada. In sharing how these principles are lived during the research process, it discusses how each project embodied Indigenous research processes by being respectful, relevant, responsible, and reciprocal.

“Ultimately, the research circle offered another layer of protection – in clarifying the value of what the ambassadors accomplished in those programme spaces and in connecting to Indigenous scholarship that reinforced those learnings (e.g., Hunt & Simpson, 2023; Kovach, 2021; Pidgeon, 2019; Smith, 1999; Tsosie et al., 2022).”

“…the spiritual elements that might come through in the research engagement as Elders and Traditional Knowledge Keepers guide research circles and recognize that these ceremonial or sacred components are not meant for us as researchers and do not “belong to the academy” (Pidgeon, 2019, p. 432).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
