ÌÇÐÄÊÓƵ

Whether Indigenous research is conducted by settler researchers or by Indigenous researchers, it is a focal point for expression, concern, attention and most importantly, action, for truth and reconciliation. ÌÇÐÄÊÓƵ recognizes the critical role of educators, researchers, and university administrators in the work of truth, reconciliation and a renewed relationship with Indigenous peoples, including with our own Indigenous faculty, staff and students. We recognize that research processes and results bear significantly on the lives of Indigenous students, families, communities and governments.

The resources on this webpage focus on research with, by and for Indigenous peoples that emphasizes engagement based on understanding and respect. At the same time, we work to move beyond individual respect and understanding towards structural, ideological, institutional, and methodological change. We take our lead from , the , Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami’s , ’s (of which ÌÇÐÄÊÓƵ is a signatory), the , ÌÇÐÄÊÓƵ’s own Office of Indigenous Affairs’&²Ô²ú²õ±è;Strategic Framework for Indigenization and other Indigenous-led directives to guide us through these changes.
