Summary:

Research With kēhtē-ayak (which is a Cree word for Elder or Old One) is an Indigenous-led, community-based research partnership between the mâmawêyatitân centre, the University of Regina, and the First Nations University of Canada, all located in Regina, Saskatchewan. This case study explains how this research project was led by a diverse research community that spanned various Indigenous nations and settler populations and was comprised of community-academic researchers, community research partners, kēhtē-ayak, and youth.The research was initiated by requests made by kēhtē-aya, who wanted a space to enable intergenerational Indigenous Traditional Knowledges (ITK) transfer and language revitalization to build Indigenous urban community well-being in Regina. These kēhtē-ayak explained that dialogue and mentorship could enhance the well-being of Indigenous peoples and communities by strengthening Indigenous youths' cultural identity to instill the pride, knowledge, and guidance required for Indigenous peoples to thrive better in settler colonial Canada.This case study explains how the community research team sought to understand better the request made by the kēhtē-ayak through research. To do so, the team used the Indigenous research methodologies of keeoukaywin (Gaudet, 2019), Relational Accountability (Wilson, 2008), Storytelling (Smith, 1999), and the Conversational Method (Kovach, 2010) to frame two research methods: Sharing Circles and Collective Consensual Data Analytic Procedure (CCDAP) (Bartlett, et al. 2007). We then followed the principles of OCAP© or Ownership, Control, Access, and Possession (First Nations Information Governance Centre, 2014) by developing a community report that was gifted to each of the participants of the research community and is housed in publicly accessible locations at mâmawêyatitân centre (Albert Library) and the First Nations University of Canada Library.
