Research is Ceremony
The Circle never ends, looping through generations and time it connects Indigenous ways of knowing.
Respecting Indigenous research as Ceremony means acting on shared knowledge from the past, present, and future, understanding that stories from the ancestors are gathered in the Circles we form today. Important research occurs through Ceremony. When Indigenous knowledge keepers and elders explore best practices and discuss worldviews, we are connected to the intersection of Indigenous and Western business approaches.
The Northern WE in Tourism study explores and recommends pathways to success that are Indigenous-led and ally supported. By listening to what does and does not work, lessons learned, and lived experience, our research model is firmly grounded on the four research Rs:
- Relevance
- Respect
- Reciprocity
- Responsibility
