Book Description

April 1, 2009
Describing a research paradigm shared by indigenous scholars in Canada and Australia, this study demonstrates how this standard can be put into practice. Portraying indigenous researchers as knowledge seekers who work to progress indigenous ways of being, knowing, and doing in a constantly evolving context, this examination shows how relationships both shape indigenous reality and are vital to reality itself. These same knowledge seekers develop relationships with ideas in order to achieve enlightenment in the ceremony of maintaining accountability. Envisioning researchers as accountable to all relations, this overview proves that careful choices should be made regarding selection of topics, methods of data collection, forms of analysis, and the way in which information is presented.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource, December 22, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Research Is Ceremony: Indigenous Research Methods (Paperback)
Excellent resource for anyone interested in doing research with Indigenous communities. Very readable, yet academic as well. Particularly helpful for non-Indigenous people who want to do research with Indigenous people - reveals much that will be helpful in treating the whole research project, people, community, etc. with respect and caring. I highly recommend this book for anyone working on a Masters or PhD in American Indian Studies or wanting to work with Native communities in their study.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Research Is Ceremony: Indigenous Research Methods (Paperback)
Shawn Wilson's style of writing and getting across the concepts of the indigenous knowledge paradigm is clear and concise.
As a non-indigenous person, I found this book quite helpful to understand indigenous research concepts and the book is a "shelf-book" that I will continue to use as a reference!

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book is Vital for Indigeneous Research, October 12, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Research Is Ceremony: Indigenous Research Methods (Paperback)
This book is essential if a researcher is conducting research either as an Indigenous or in an Indigenous community, or both. Shawn Wilson has walked the path of building respect and relationships while conducting legitimate research. I also felt that this book tempers general Western European paradigms, and thus would be beneficial to those designing research outside the Indigenous communities also.
