Indigenous research emerges from Indigenous worldviews, languages, and interconnected relationships with the land and all beings. It integrates the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of knowledge gathering and sharing. Indigenous research methodologies underscore the importance of relational accountability, and the need to ground research in community context while adhering to the principles of respect, reciprocity and responsibility (Kirkness & Barnhardt, 1991; Wilson, 2008; Kovach, 2009; Tuhiwai Smith, 2012, Restoule, McGregor & Johnston, 2018).

Researchers and Topics
Indigenous-centred research at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s spans a variety of disciplines including health sciences, geography, arts, engineering, law, and education. Many faculty members conduct community-engaged, participatory research with projects focusing on Indigenous literatures, visual arts, film, media and history, Indigenous music cultures, Indigenous language revitalization, Indigenous social and environmental justice and health equity, and Indigenous entrepreneurship among other topics of interest.
Indigenous Research Centre
The Office of Indigenous Initiatives has been exploring the feasibility of establishing an Indigenous Research Centre. Taking shape under the guidance of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s Aboriginal Council and community partners, the Centre would provide a culturally-safe space for Indigenous community members, Indigenous and allied faculty, students and staff to honour Indigenous knowledge systems and work collaboratively across disciplines and ways of knowing while fostering relationship building both within the university setting and beyond.
The Office of Indigenous Initiatives will continue to coordinate efforts aimed at creating the Indigenous Research Centre through planning sessions, discussion groups and consultation events with Indigenous partners and campus community.
