Indigenous research toolkit

Developing an Indigenous research framework

IRSI is co-developing an Indigenous Research Engagement Framework for UBC that is informed by Indigenous community partners and is based on shared Indigenous values and founded on community interests. Elements of that framework will be added to this section of the website as they are developed. In the interim, we have provided links to existing resources that Indigenous researchers will need. Combined, the resources on this page comprise a toolkit that will assist researchers already involved in Indigenous research with the various steps of their research collaborations

Principles of Engagement

IRSI is working to develop Principles of Engagement for Indigenous research, based on the needs, worldviews, cultural context(s) and values of Indigenous peoples.
