Indigenous Research Ethics

Indigenous Research Ethics involves respectful and culturally appropriate practices when studying Indigenous peoples and communities. It emphasizes mutual trust, consent, and ensuring that research benefits the community, not just the researcher. This approach recognizes Indigenous knowledge, traditions, and rights, and seeks to avoid exploitation or misrepresentation. Researchers collaborate with Indigenous communities throughout the process, honoring their sovereignty and values. Overall, it aims to conduct research that is ethical, equitable, and beneficial, fostering trust and respect between researchers and Indigenous peoples.
