Indigenous Issues Research: Special Consideration
Indigenous Issues Research: Special Consideration
Like any issue that involves groups with competing perspectives, discussions about Indigenous history and rights in Canada can become very heated with emotion. Since the topics you are researching might be about trauma, you must be very thoughtful about the sources you choose to use. Searching on the internet may produce many inaccurate, biased, and insensitive websites, blogs, and commentaries. Try to avoid personal sites and blogs; prefer sites that are affiliated with educational groups, Indigenous knowledge-holders, or NGOs. Give more weight to authentic Indigenous voices.
