Abstract

decolonising the academy Indigenous approaches to knowledge Indigenous data analysis Indigenous epistemologies new methods and methodologies
This article addresses a significant gap in our scholarly knowledge concerning the use of Indigenous ways of being, knowing, and doing, in research data analysis, when applying Indigenous philosophies and research methodologies. Often as Indigenous researchers when applying an Indigenous paradigm, standpoint, methodology and methods, we tend to revert to non-Indigenous western science approaches to the data analysis process, which was the case for first author Carmen when she was undertaking her Doctor of Philosophy and applied thematic analysis. To avoid conflicts between the use of the ologies, that is, ways of being, knowing, and doing, that are evident between Indigenous and western sciences we provide an Indigenist data analysis framework. This work adds value to scholarly knowledge by providing a way to maintain our Indigenous ways of being, knowing, and doing, during the data analysis research process, as we continue to restore our Indigeneity when applying an Indigenist paradigm and standpoint.
