Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to reflect on the role of Linda Tuhiwai Smith's book Decolonizing Methodologies in our work as Indigenous scholars.

Design/methodology/approach

This article explores the application of Indigenous-centered research methodologies as outlined by Linda Tuhiwai Smith in Decolonizing Methodologies: Research and Indigenous Peoples. Through the collaborative work of two Indigenous scholars, we examine how traditional academic structures rooted in settler colonialism can be challenged and transformed.

Findings

We did not have findings as this is not a research paper, but a reflection on how we used Tuhiwai Smith's work in the development and implementation of an Indigenous centered research project.

Originality/value

The originality of this submission is that it reflects on how Tuhiwai Smith's work was used in the natural sciences as opposed to just education/social science research.
