Applying Indigenous Research Methods

<p><em>Applying Indigenous Research Methods</em> focuses<i> </i>on the question of "<i>How</i>" Indigenous Research Methodologies (IRMs)<i> </i>can be used and taught across Indigenous studies and education. </p><p>In this collection, Indigenous scholars address the importance of IRMs in their own scholarship, while focusing conversations on the <i>application</i> with<i> </i>others. Each chapter is co-authored to model methods rooted in the sharing of stories to strengthen relationships, such as yarning, storywork, and others. The chapters offer a wealth of specific examples, as told by researchers about their research methods in conversation with other scholars, teachers, and community members.</p><p>Applying Indigenous Research Methods is an interdisciplinary showcase of the ways IRMs can enhance scholarship in fields including education, Indigenous studies, settler colonial studies, social work, qualitative methodologies, and beyond.</p> <p><strong>PART I Palm Upwards: "Reaching Back to Receive Lessons"</strong> 1 Hands Back, Hands Forward for Indigenous Storywork as Methodology <em>Jo-ann Archibald Q’um Q’um Xiiem [Stó:lo- and St’at’imc] and Amy Parent Nox Ayaaw´ ilt [Nisga’a]</em> 2 Community Relationships within Indigenous Methodologies <em>Elizabeth Fast [Métis/Mennonite] and Margaret Kovach [Plains Cree/Saulteaux/member of Treaty Four in southern Saskatchewan]</em> 3 K’é and Tdayp-tday-gaw: Embodying Indigenous Relationality in Research Methods <em>Leola Roberta Rainbow Tsinnajinnie [Diné/Filipina and accepted into Santa Ana Pueblo], Robin Starr Zape-tah-hol-ah Minthorn [Kiowa/Apache/Umatilla/Nez Perce/Assiniboine], and Tiffany S.
