- Summary:
- The diverse social, cultural, and environmental knowledge of 1Indigenous peoples contributes to sustainability across large parts of the globe. Research partnerships with Indigenous people can bring insights to challenges such as containing climate change and biodiversity loss. However, Indigenous peoples have called for decolonization of research, citing a troubled history of reproducing relationships of dominance and subordination. We present a project conducted in partnership with First Peoples in Australia, aimed at fostering collaborative and Indigenous sciences for sustainability pathways, including work packages focused on conservation governance, sustainability and biocultural diversity indicators, and responses to changes in climate and water resources. We sought to identify both pathways and research practices that embedded justice and equity, and respected multiple knowledge and governance systems. Here we reflect on how different Positionalities among our research team members influenced design, delivery, practical aspects, and lessons learned. Our research team includes two Indigenous Australians, an Indigenous Fijian, a Mixed (Settler-Indigenous) heritage Mexican, a Singaporean, and a non-Indigenous Australian. We found that a mix of different Positionalities benefited the whole project. The learning journey toward decolonizing research requires cultural sensitivity, deep commitment to relationships, and willingness to embrace soul in research.
