Indigenous MéTissage: A Decolonizing Research Sensibility, Dwayne Donald
Indigenous MéTissage: A Decolonizing Research Sensibility, Dwayne Donald
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
This paper is a report on the theoretical origins of a decolonizing research sensibility called Indigenous Métissage. This research praxis emerged parallel to personal and ongoing inquiries into historic and current relations connecting Aboriginal peoples and Canadians in the place now called Canada. I frame the colonial frontier origins of these relations – and the logics that tend to inform them – as conceptual problems that require rethinking on more ethically relational terms. Although a postcolonial cultural theory called métissage offers helpful insights towards this challenge, I argue that the postcolonial emphasis on hybridity fails to acknowledge Indigenous subjectivity in …

Australian Approaches For Managing ‘Country’ Using Indigenous And Non-Indigenous Knowledge, Emilie J. Ens, Max Finlayson, Karissa Preuss, Sue Jackson, Sarah Holcombe
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
This paper synthesises the lessons learnt and challenges encountered when applying Indigenous and non-Indigenous knowledge and methods in natural and cultural resource management (NCRM) in northern and central Australia. We primarily draw on the papers within this special issue of Ecological Management & Restoration, which originated largely from the Indigenous land management symposium at the 2010 Ecological Society of Australia conference. Many of the papers and therefore this article discuss practical experiences that offer insight for enhanced on-ground cross-cultural NCRM and can inform broader thinking and theoretical critiques. A wider literature is also drawn upon to substantiate the points and …
Management Of Type 2 Diabetes, Susan Harch, David Reeve, Carole Reeve
Management Of Type 2 Diabetes, Susan Harch, David Reeve, Carole Reeve
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
Objective: This article describes the evaluation of a new model of partnership care using an audit cycle.
Results: Statistically significant improvements in foot examination, body mass index, urine albumin creatinine ratio, total cholesterol, triglycerides and visual acuity measurements were observed. Significant increases in the proportion of patients achieving cholesterol and triglycerides therapeutic targets occurred. Most other outcome indicators demonstrated a nonsignificant improvement, which may be due to the short time interval in the audit for potential change.
Conclusion: A dedicated chronic disease team and a clinical information system to coordinate culturally appropriate, multidisciplinary chronic disease care enables effective management of …
This Is Not A Guide To Indigenous Research Partnerships, Karen Adams, Shannon Faulkhead
This Is Not A Guide To Indigenous Research Partnerships, Karen Adams, Shannon Faulkhead
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
Development of research partnerships can cause confusion, as there is not and cannot be a step-by-step guidebook to community partnerships. Each one is different because each partnership is unique. The aim of this article is to unpack some of the workings of Indigenous research partnerships. In this article we use a mini-literature review of Australian research, and methods of self-reflection and ‘Yarning’ to draw on our research partnership experiences of having been community partners to researchers, as researchers ourselves partnering with community, and Indigenous knowledge shared with us through collaborative research, and community relationships. The literature review is a tool …
