Abstract: There is an absence of studies on discrete Indigenous data analysis methods in the literature on Indigenous research methodologies. However, data analysis is occasionally incorporated as an aspect of Indigenised research frameworks (, ) or, more often, follows emic academic techniques mediated by etic values and paradigms (; ; ; ). This chapter proposes a standalone Indigenous data analysis tool that is a hybridisation of ancient oral culture practice and contemporary thought experiment. It is grounded in Aboriginal protocols of communal knowledge production that are aligned with principles of complexity theory. This analysis tool represents a significant departure from western academic approaches, while promoting high levels of intellectual rigour. It also offers the intriguing possibility of examining non-Indigenous data sets using an Indigenous Knowledge process, potentially resolving the issue described by of quantitative data being, to date, largely ignored in Indigenous research.
