This article uses an Indigenous Research Methodology known as Storywork. Following Indigenous protocols and pedagogy through the telling of stories, the reader and listener is introduced to an Indigenist paradigm and research standpoint. Through describing my standpoint, the stories demonstrate the centrality of my Indigeneity in my methodology while also confirming an Indigenizing framework of inquiry. The stories highlight decisions and actions of government that have dismantled cultures and knowledge systems but can also be applied to public policy to enable and embed culture. Critical reflections within the stories depict Indigenous ways of being, knowing, and doing in research.

本文使用一种称为Storywork的土著研究方法。通过讲故事的土著协议和教学法，向读者和听众介绍土著主义范式和研究立场。通过描述我的观点，这些故事在我的方法论中展示了我的本土性的中心地位，同时也证实了本土化的探究框架。这些故事强调了政府的决定和行动，这些决定和行动破坏了文化和知识体系，但也可以应用于公共政策，以促进和嵌入文化。故事中的批判性反思反映了研究中土著人的存在，知识和行为。
