Key Research Principles

Our research with Indigenous peoples is founded on:

  • consultation, negotiation, and free and informed consent

  • sustained relationships with our research partners, giving opportunities for feedback on research findings, analysis and recommendations

  • respect for Indigenous knowledges and cultural protocols in each situation, led by Indigenous partners

  • appreciation for the diversity and uniqueness of Indigenous peoples and communities

  • acknowledgement of all contributions to the research

  • commitment to working collaboratively with organisations and individuals that participate in our research, and building their capacity in the areas touched by the research where possible.
