Summary:

This case study explores the challenges Indigenous researchers face when engaging in non-Indigenous collaboration. As an Indigenous researcher, I am particularly interested in the language of decolonization employed in academic discourse and the challenges of actually hammering out decolonizing methodologies within research collaboration. More important, how do claims of decolonizing research match the decolonizing work done in every day (i.e., unraveling unequal power relations)? Although much has been written about this topic in the compelling work of Decolonizing methodologies by Māori scholar Linda Tuhiwai Smith, there is still an astounding amount of evidence that some researchers have missed the memo. This case study isn't necessarily for those researchers because much has already been written about ethical collaboration. This case study is for Indigenous and People of Color (POC) researchers. There isn't a large body of scholarship on how we as Indigenous and POC researchers can navigate what the university often considers "gray areas" in research practice between policy and relational ethical accountability. I argue that these areas are not gray areas within ethical relational understandings rooted in Indigenous research practice. Rather, they are ongoing sites of power that continue to enact colonization through multiple fronts within research collaboration with non-Indigenous researchers. This case study reflects on my experiences and lessons learned in creating healthy and safe parameters in collaborative research practice.
