Who (and what) are you bearing witness to (and for) through your
research? When you witness, what claims are you making about who
and what matters? What does your research forget, and does it do it
on purpose? This book reconceptualizes qualitative research as an
in-relations process, one that is centered on, fully concerned
with, and lifts up, those who have been and continue to be
dispossessed, harmed, dehumanized, suffered, and erased because of
white supremacy, settler colonialism, or other hegemonic world
views. It prompts scholars to make connections between
themselves as "researchers" and affect, ancestors, community,
family and kinship, space and place, and the more than human beings
with whom they are always already in community. What are the modes
and ways of knowing through which we approach our research? How can
the practice of research bring us closer to the peoples, places,
more than human beings, histories, presents, and futures in which
we are embedded and connected to? If we are the instruments of our
research, then how must we be attentive to all of the affects and
relations that make us who we are and what will become? These
questions animate Weaving an Otherwise, providing a wellspring from
which we think about our interconnections to the past, present, and
future possibilities of research. After an opening chapter by the
editors that explores the consequences and liberating opportunities
of rejecting dominant qualitative methodologies that erase the
voices of the subordinated and disdained, the contributors of nine
chapters explore and enact approaches that uncover hidden
connections and reveal unconscious value systems.

Indigenous students remain one of the least represented populations
in higher education. They continue to account for only one percent
of the total post-secondary student population, and this lack of
representation is felt in multiple ways beyond enrollment. Less
research money is spent studying Indigenous students, and their
interests are often left out of projects that otherwise purport to
address diversity in higher education. Recently, Native scholars
have started to reclaim research through the development of their
own research methodologies and paradigms that are based in tribal
knowledge systems and values, and that allow inherent Indigenous
knowledge and lived experiences to strengthen the research.
Reclaiming Indigenous Research in Higher Education highlights the
current scholarship emerging from these scholars of higher
education. From understanding how Native American students make
their way through school, to tracking tribal college and university
transfer students, this book allows Native scholars to take center
stage, and shines the light squarely on those least represented
among us.
