Indigenous Research Methodologies<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The \u0100nako Indigenous Research Institute is dedicated to facilitating dialogue and respect between researchers and Indigenous communities. This resource page embodies that commitment, serving as a guide to enhance and inform Indigenous-centred research projects at Carleton while directing and connecting students to available resources.<\/p>\n

Carleton University and the \u0100nako Indigenous Research Institute adhere to the First Nations Principles of OCAP (ownership, control, access, and possession) and actively integrate the principles of First Nations governance systems into their research protocols and ethics.
