There is a long history of exploitative research on Native peoples, communities, and nations. Indigenous and Native Research methods offer alternative ways of doing research grounded in respect, relationships, reciprocity, and relevance that support the self-determination and the needs of Native communities.

The Native Research Methods Symposium features keynotes by Drs. Shawn Wilson and Margaret Kovach, preeminent authors of two excellent books on Indigenous Research Methods, and a series of panels highlighting successful collaborations between the university and Native communities.

This event will be open for registration to all university faculty, students, and staff.

Any accessibility requests or questions should be directed to fiona.summers@utah.edu.
