The Complexities of Researching Youth Civic Engagement in Canada with/by Indigenous Youth: Settler-colonial challenges for Tikkun Olam—Pedagogies of repair and reconciliation
Year: 2015
Type: article
Abstract: We discuss the first stage of our Tikkun research study that focuses on an indigenized approach to youth participatory action research in a northern Ontario context. Our research design began with an Indigenous youth-generated report, the Feathers of Hope (FoH): A First Nations Youth Action Plan (2014), highlighting the needs of Indigenous youth in their own words and experiences. Readings of the report has led to deep theorizing on questions of a university-based research model for indigenized youth participatory action research (I-YPAR) as well as our ongoing deep ethical dilemmas of settler researchers co-collaborating on research by/with Indigenous youth. We raise these issues as we theorize the possibilities and complexities of a pedagogy of repair and reconciliation (tikkun olam) during our reflexive dialogues as settler-researchers and with Indigenous youth.
