More about Collaborative Indigenous Research

Collaborative Indigenous Research (CIR) is a combination of two fields of research: participatory research and Indigenous research. To learn more, visit the Collaborative Indigenous Research Digital Garden. The digital garden highlights the methods, ethics, theories of change, and forms of knowledge mobilization in Collaborative Indigenous Research methodologies.

Revealing the deeply relational approaches to Indigenous research, the projects in the digital garden exemplify what sets participatory Indigenous research apart from other Indigenous research methodologies.
