Abstract

In this paper I explore questions related to the epistemological and ontological differences existing between Euro-Western and Indigenous ways of knowing.Revealing myself to the reader through positioning, I explore the possibility of reaching an ethical middle ground, while occupying an unearned position of privilege.In doing so, I discuss the personal process of decolonization and its location within my research.Drawing on the works of Indigenous scholars, I discuss the potential for a neutral, ethical, space-bridging worldview. In conclusion, I highlight details about how meaningful knowledge creation can aid a non-Aboriginal researcher engaged in an Aboriginal research paradigm.
