Study Notes
Colonial Power and Western Scientists
- Western scientists have historically exercised colonial power over indigenous people, discovering, extracting, and commodifying their knowledge.
- This has led to the marginalization of indigenous people, excluding them from discussions about research control, methodologies, and representations.
Decolonization Project
- The decolonization project aims to challenge Western power structures that perpetuate neocolonial sentiments and essentialize indigenous people.
- Critical theory, without modification, is not suitable for indigenous settings, as it perpetuates neocolonial sentiments and denies indigenous people a voice.
Critical Politics of Interpretation
- A critical politics of interpretation leads indigenous scholars to ask eight questions about any research project:
- What research do we want done?
- Whom is it for?
- What difference will it make?
- Who will carry it out?
- How do we want the research done?
- How will we know it is worthwhile?
- Who will own the research?
- Who will benefit?
- These questions must be answered in the affirmative, ensuring indigenous people conduct, own, and benefit from research about them.
Indigenous Research and Critical Theory
- Indigenous research and critical theory share antifoundational epistemologies and prioritize performative issues of gender, race, class, equity, and social justice.
- Both formations develop understandings of community, critique, resistance, struggle, and emancipation.
Spiritual Crisis
- The central crisis in the world today is spiritual, rooted in the increasingly virulent relationship between humans and nature.
- Indigenous peoples' concepts of spirituality, which were attempted to be destroyed and claimed by Christianity, represent critical sites of resistance.
Respectful Performance Pedagogy
- A respectful performance pedagogy honors indigenous views of spirituality, recognizing the significance of place, land, and landscape.
- Research ethics for indigenous communities extend beyond individual consent and confidentiality, requiring respect, humility, and a willingness to listen.
Turning the Tables on the Colonizers
- Indigenous ethical and moral models call into question Western models of ethical inquiry, outlining a radical ethical path for the future.
- They stress personal accountability, caring, and the sharing of emotionality, implementing collaborative, participatory performative inquiry.
