Research Approach

Our research process is driven by 5 fundamental principles (‘EARIS’):

1. CCC – Context, Culture and Community (EXLORE)
2. KPI – Knowledge, Practices, and Innovations (ANALYSE)
3. LaLa – Listen-Act-Listen Again (REFLECT)
4. ACE – Activism, Change and Empowerment (IMPACT)
5. NIC – Nurturing Indigenous Champions and Talents (SUSTAINABLE)
   

We choose research methods that are appropriate to engage with Indigenous Peoples, including:

• Alternative Data Generation (ADG)
• Shared Learning Dialogue (SLDs)
• Photo Elucidation Story (PES)
• Indigenous Deliberative Lab (IDL)
• Reflective Journal Analysis (RJA)
