Applying Indigenous Research Methods: Storying with Peoples and Communities
Applying Indigenous Research Methods focuses on the question of "How" Indigenous Research Methodologies (IRMs) can be used and taught across Indigenous studies and education.
In this collection, Indigenous scholars address the importance of IRMs in their own scholarship, while focusing conversations on the application with others. Each chapter is co-authored to model methods rooted in the sharing of stories to strengthen relationships, such as yarning, storywork, and others. The chapters offer a wealth of specific examples, as told by researchers about their research methods in conversation with other scholars, teachers, and community members.
Applying Indigenous Research Methods is an interdisciplinary showcase of the ways IRMs can enhance scholarship in fields including education, Indigenous studies, settler colonial studies, social work, qualitative methodologies, and beyond.

In my opinion, this is the best Indigenous Research Methodologies (IRM) book I’ve come across to date. Of course, due respect must be given to Indigenous scholars like Shawn Wilson, Maggie Kovach, Linda Tuhiwai Smith, Jo-Ann Archibald, and I’d add Fyre Jean Graveline to that list, but this edited volume was much needed to show the application of the foundational principles discussed in those texts. The combination of relationality and storywork to execute this collection was expertly done. I recommend this book to anyone in the academy, Indigenous and non-Indigenous alike.

Honestly I read 99% of this in 2022 but I finally finished the last bits... I appreciated the constant reminder about the heterogeneity within indigenous communities in the US and the informal/conversational nature of many chapters although I know I have to read a lot more to even think about trying IRMs... This is an intro for sure.
