Kovach, Margaret. Indigenous Methodologies: Characteristics, Conversations, and Contexts. University of Toronto Press, 2010.
By deciphering the distinction from western qualitative approaches, Kovach’s study offers researchers a guide to indigenous methodologies, epistemologies, decolonizing theory, and protocol. The book is useful for familiarity with the principal discourse and supplements the theory with stories from multiple perspectives by indigenous researchers. Students may reference the book for innovative approaches to methods and ethics in the emergent discourse. The author’s own experiences and meaning-making is fundamental to the development of the discourse.
