My PhD Bookstack: Indigenous Resources

This is a very important post for me, as I research Indigenous populations in Canada, with the utmost respect - I am honoured to be researching Indigenous cultures.

In this bookstack, I am sharing books that I have read and have helped me understand and learn about how Indigenous researchers do their research, not research as Indigenous researchers do. It is not for me to get into the shoes of an Indigenous researcher. I can sit on the side, I can sit behind them, and listen and learn.

Of course, I am going to include Helen Kara’s book again, which I will also share in the My PhD Bookstack: Ethics in Research post. Helen writes about Indigenous research and respects it, which is so important.

This is an absolute gem of a book. The author speaks about many categories of Indigenous peoples in her book, and shares her valuable experience and heritage.

This book by Daniel Heath Justice is a must-read anyway, let alone if you have the honour, like me, to study and research Indigenous populations. He combines literature and lived experience, along with Indigenous traditions.

And of course, apart from her book, I will link to Helen Kara’s amazing blog again on everything related to Indigenous research.
