Moving towards reconciliation within Indigenous research requires the careful examination of existing practices at all stages of the research process. Engagement in and dissemination of reflexive processes may increase the relevance of research results for Indigenous communities and partners. This article describes and contextualizes the results obtained from this qualitative research study examining parenting needs and child reunification in these communities. The initial results were deemed relevant by the partnering community but research stakeholders reported that they did not reflect all community values. Based on the advice of the Research Advisory Group, the research team decided to further analyze the results to address these shortcomings. The reanalysis process focused on improving the perceived meaningfulness and relevance to communities. Exploration of how these results were re-situated in an Indigenous framework of wellbeing is discussed. Researcher reflections about the project processes and considerations for future research are explored.

迈向土著研究进程：加拿大原住民社区实证研究的反思方法

在土著研究中实现和解的过程需要仔细研究研究过程各个阶段的现有实践。参与和传播反身过程可能会增加研究结果对土著社区和合作伙伴的相关性。本文介绍了从定性研究中获得的结果，并对其进行了背景调查，研究了这些社区中的父母养育需求和儿童团聚。合作社区认为初始结果是相关的，但研究利益相关者报告说，它们并未反映所有社区价值。根据研究咨询小组的建议，研究团队决定进一步分析结果以解决这些缺点。重新分析过程的重点是提高人们对社区的感知意义和相关性。讨论了如何在土著福利框架中重新构建这些结果。研究人员对项目过程的思考和对未来研究的考虑。
