Indigenous Worldviews, Knowledge, and Research: The Development of an Indigenous Research Paradigm |
Michael Anthony Hart, University of Manitoba, Journal of Indigenous Voices in Social Work |
Abstract: “This article presents the initial development of one Indigenous research paradigm. The article begins with an overview of worldviews and Indigenous knowledge before addressing how these perspectives have been blinded by Eurocentric thought and practices. These sections set the background for the focus of the article, namely the development of an Indigenous research paradigm. This paradigm is based upon the framework shared by Wilson (2001), who suggested that a research paradigm consists of an ontology, epistemology, methodology, and axiology. By presenting Indigenous perspectives on each of the framework components, an Indigenous research paradigm that was used for research with Indigenous Elders and Indigenous social workers who are based within Indigenous worldviews and ways of being is presented.” |

Research- the road to progress, Greenland's National Research Strategy 2022-2030 |
Government of Greenland, Ministry for Education, Culture, Sports and Church |
When the world at large proclaims that it embraces lofty ideas like sustainability and circularity, they are referring to things that we have always known. Our ancestors taught us that all people, animals, lakes, mountains and plants are imbued with an innate soul, the Inua, and when hunters kill an animal, it is important to release its soul so it can form a new life. This is the core of the sustainability message: that we must treat people, animals and the environment in such a way that we can regenerate naturally and allow the circle of life to remain unbroken. |
