PDF-(BOOK)-Decolonizing Research: Indigenous Storywork as Methodology

From Oceania to North America indigenous peoples have created storytelling traditions of incredible depth and diversity The term indigenous storywork has come to encompass the sheer breadth of ways in which indigenous storytelling serves as a historical record as a form of teaching and learning and as an expression of indigenous culture and identity But such traditions have too often been relegated to the realm of myth and legend recorded as fragmented distortions or erased altogetherDecolonizing Research brings together indigenous researchers and activists from Canada Australia and New Zealand to assert the unique value of indigenous storywork as a focus of research and to develop methodologies that rectify the colonial attitudes inherent in much past and current scholarship By bringing together their own indigenous perspectives and by treating indigenous storywork on its own terms the contributors illuminate valuable new avenues for research and show how such reworked scholarship can contribute to the movement for indigenous rights and selfdetermination.

PHILOSOPHICAL UNDERPINNINGCitationJacksonE 2013Choosing a Methodology Philosophical UnderpinningPractitioner Research in Higher Education Journal71 October Available at http//1948118919/ojs/indexphp/ From Oceania to North America, indigenous peoples have created storytelling traditions of incredible depth and diversity. The term “indigenous storywork” has come to encompass the sheer breadth of ways in which indigenous storytelling serves as a historical record, as a form of teaching and learning, and as an expression of indigenous culture and identity. But such traditions have too often been relegated to the realm of myth and legend, recorded as fragmented distortions, or erased altogether.Decolonizing Research brings together indigenous researchers and activists from Canada, Australia, and New Zealand to assert the unique value of indigenous storywork as a focus of research, and to develop methodologies that rectify the colonial attitudes inherent in much past and current scholarship. By bringing together their own indigenous perspectives, and by treating indigenous storywork on its own terms, the contributors illuminate valuable new avenues for research, and show how such reworked scholarship can contribute to the movement for indigenous rights and self-determination. A landmark in the process of decolonizing imperial Western knowledge.Walter Mignolo, Duke UniversityTo the colonized, the term research is conflated with European colonialism the ways in which academic research has been implicated in the throes of imperialism remains a painful memory.This essential volume explores intersections of imperialism and research - specifically, the ways in which imperialism is embedded in disciplines of knowledge and tradition as regimes of truth.

Jo-ann Archibald worked closely with Coast Salish Elders and storytellers, who shared both traditional and personal life-experience stories, in order to develop ways of bringing storytelling into educational contexts. Indigenous Storywork is the result of this research and it demonstrates how stories have the power to educate and heal the heart, mind, body, and spirit. It builds on the seven principles of respect, responsibility, reciprocity, reverence, holism, interrelatedness, and synergy that form a framework for understanding the characteristics of stories, appreciating the process of storytelling, establishing a receptive learning context, and engaging in holistic meaning-making.
