This training responds to the need for culturally based research tools that are both evidence-based and evaluated from an Indigenous knowledges framework. Indigenous knowledges are broadly defined as the various forms of knowledge that Indigenous (local) communities accumulate over generations of living in a particular environment; they encompass all forms of knowledge – including technologies (broadly defined), know-how and skills, health care practices, and beliefs – that enable Aboriginal communities to achieve stable livelihoods in their environment (Estey, Smylie, & Macaulay 2009, p.1).

The skills learned can be used for any qualitative method; Indigenous narrative inquiry will be used as an example, as per Dr. Stewart’s research. Participants will have an opportunity to practice new skills in breakout sessions within the workshop.
