Then, acting on lessons learned from this first partnership project, we describe our efforts to attend to these ethical research principles in a second partnership project to support Indigenous children’s writing and Indigenous language and cultural learning through teacher-initiated, culturally specific, play-based activities. We offer our reflections as a starting point for conversations that will inspire and call for the necessary ethical and relational responsibilities of doing partnership research with and for Indigenous communities.  \nKeywords: ethical research, research with Indigenous communities, partnership research , NOW Play  \n* [jennifer.brant@utoronto.ca](jennifer.brant@utoronto.ca)  \nResearch involving Indigenous participants and carried out by non-Indigenous researchers has a troubling history. Indeed, Indigenous peoples have been the subjects of some of the most harmful and unethical research practices in the history of research in education and in other disciplines. Kovach (2021) explains that “ethical infringements in research impacting Indigenous communities are not hard to find”(p. 89) . Kovach and others (e.g. , Denzin et al. , 2008; Smith, 2021) provide historical and contemporary examples of unethical research practices from research studies that have occurred on the lands referred to as Canada, the United States, New Zealand , and Australia.  \nAs a bi-epistemic research team, we write this paper in agreement with Bull (2010) that it is well past time to consider ethics from an Indigenous perspective rather than from only a Western perspective. Our intentions are to engage in ethical research that moves away from the kind of work that Tuck (2009) defined as “damage-centered” (p. 409) towards an approach that honours the principles associated with doing research for and with Indigenous peoples (Smith, 2021) . As one Indigenous and two non-Indigenous scholars , we offer this paper to document our collective journey through the murky waters of enacting ethical research with Indigenous peoples. We enter this work from different positionalities and levels of understanding related to the history of research involving Indigenous peoples. Our collaboration offers space for the two non-Indigenous researchers to be guided by the Indigenous researcher in reflections on research practices as we delve into policy documents and align with the protocols articulated by Indigenous scholars who write about Indigenous methodologies. The non-Indigenous researchers are grateful to the Indigenous researcher for sharing her knowledge, experiences , and perspectives that enabled them to learn about ways of thinking about , and of doing , research that better reflects Indigenous ethical perspectives on community engagement and relational accountability.  \nBy way of building rapport with our readers and the communities where our research takes place, we begin by introducing ourselves and our research project. Such introductions are important given the context of our shared commitment to ethical research practices with Indigenous communities. Moreover, this practice of self-locating is particularly important within Indigenous research contexts, as Indigenous communities hav","cbCaianjztDkiebM","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaianjztDkiebM","pdf",182367,"English","# Abstract\n## Ethical principles and policy review\n## Ethical challenges in non-Indigenous research\n## Bi-epistemic collaboration and Indigenous methodologies\n## Self-location and rapport building\n## Project introductions and NOW Play partnership","[{\"question\":\"How does the second partnership project differ from the first?\",\"answer\":\"The second project extends the ethical principles learned from the first partnership, using teacher-initiated, culturally specific, play-based activities to support Indigenous children’s writing and Indigenous language and cultural learning.\"}]","Partnership Research With Indigenous Communities - Fostering Community Engagement and Relational Accountability | PDF",1792080615]
