SOCIAL RESEARCH
Our research is undertaken with an Indigenist methodology framework and guided by Blak ethics and Social Work ethics. The Indigenist methodology framework reflects the ways of knowing, being and doing. This allows the research design to be guided by the Aboriginal community based on key principles. The principles include:
- Recognition of the Indigenous world view,
- Honouring Aboriginal social norms,
- Emphasis on social, historical, and political contexts which shape our existence, and privileging the voices, experiences and lives of Aboriginal people and Aboriginal lands.
