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.
