Abstract

Moving towards reconciliation within Indigenous research requires the careful examination of existing practices at all stages of the research process. Engagement in and dissemination of reflexive processes may increase the relevance of research results for Indigenous communities and partners. This article describes and contextualizes the results obtained from this qualitative research study examining parenting needs and child reunification in these communities. The initial results were deemed relevant by the partnering community but research stakeholders reported that they did not reflect all community values. Based on the advice of the Research Advisory Group, the research team decided to further analyze the results to address these shortcomings. The reanalysis process focused on improving the perceived meaningfulness and relevance to communities. Exploration of how these results were re-situated in an Indigenous framework of wellbeing is discussed. Researcher reflections about the project processes and considerations for future research are explored.
走向土著研究过程:加拿大第一民族社区实证工作的反思性方法
在土著研究中实现和解需要在研究过程的所有阶段仔细审查现有的做法。参与和传播反身性过程可以增加研究成果对土著社区和合作伙伴的相关性。这篇文章描述了从这个定性研究中获得的结果,研究了这些社区的养育需求和儿童团聚。合作社区认为初步结果具有相关性,但研究利益攸关方报告称,这些结果并未反映社区的所有价值观。根据研究咨询小组的建议,研究小组决定进一步分析结果,以解决这些缺点。重新分析过程的重点是提高对社区的感知意义和相关性。讨论了如何将这些结果重新置于土著福利框架中的探索。研究人员对项目过程的思考和对未来研究的考虑进行了探讨。
