So, What are Indigenous Research Methods?

Spent last night working on an in-depth, publishable review of a new culturally-responsive research methods book (significant Indigenous research methods component) that I am co-writing with another newly minted Dr. (she’s a Ph.D. out of A.S.U via U.C. Davis). I absolutely loved this book and read every word in one day. I must say that after very recently having a colleague ask me in a perplexed state, “What are Indigenous research methods?”, I am so pleased to have co-authored this review. Considering that a significant number of our global population operate off Indigenous thought/cultural systems, it might behoove (for numerous mutually beneficial reasons) our thought leaders to seek to understand and respond to their distinct Indigenous Peoples (even in urban settings) affordances.
