Indigenous methodologies : characteristics, conversations and contexts
Margaret Kovach (Author)
"Indigenous methodologies flow from tribal knowledge, and while they are allied with several Western qualitative approaches, there are key distinctions. In this work, These are the focal considerations of Margaret Kovach's study, which offers guidance to those conducting research in the academy using Indigenous methodologies. Kovach includes topics such as Indigenous epistemologies, decolonizing theory, story as method, situating self and culture, Indigenous methods, protocol, meaning-making, and ethics. In exploring these elements, the book interweaves perspectives from six Indigenous researchers who share their stories, and also includes excerpts from the author's own journey into Indigenous methodologies."-- Provided by publisher
