Abstract
Indigenous peoples have always met colonization with active resistance. In recent years, there has been growing resistance to scientific methods and assumptions that contribute to ongoing violence and colonization. This chapter engages in a conversation about the epistemologies, ontologies, and axiologies that characterize Indigenist ways of knowing. The chapter emphasizes that each individual exists in their own relationship with knowledge and the research they do is not neutral. It enlivens the values of their culture(s). The reader is invited to join a conversation to reflect on their own relationship with knowledge and consider how they might engage in research that does not mine for culture, but rather contributes to social justice.
