Summary:

It is well established within the social sciences that each stage of research, from planning to publication, is affected by the researcher's standpoint (Walter, 2019). Across the social sciences, there has been a tendency to prioritize knowledge (epistemes), frameworks, and research stemming from the Global North, and to overlook Southern and Indigenous knowledge, frameworks, and research. Indigenous Standpoint Theory and other critical theories seek to counter and circumnavigate this trend by uplifting knowledge and paradigms outside the "Northern Canon".This case study explores the use of Indigenous Standpoint Theory by two Aboriginal Australian social scientists, one Worimi and the other Palawa, with examples of research drawing from the Longitudinal Study of Indigenous Children (LSIC)-Footprints in Time. Specifically, we focus on a research project that investigates the sharing of Indigenous culture between Indigenous fathers and their children, and how this contributes to their children growing up strong. We argue that using Indigenous Standpoint Theory in Indigenous-related research is vital because of the ongoing tensions between the worldviews of Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in Anglo-colonized nations like Australia.
