As the COVID-19 crisis continues to develop, communities around the world find themselves living in new and uncertain times. School and university closures are significantly disrupting the lives of students, educators and researchers alike. With the sudden shift to online learning platforms, the limitations on research projects and the lack of standardised policies and procedures, many concerns arise surrounding the unequal impacts of this crisis. This article brings together diverse perspectives on the effects of COVID-19 on post-secondary life for students and scholars engaged in the field of Indigenous health research. The authors reflect on how this time has impacted them as a graduating student, incoming PhD student, junior faculty member and mid-career faculty member respectively. Their experiences of teaching and learning at a large, research-intensive university in Toronto, Canada have been profoundly transformed, and will continue to change the way they work, research and interact at the graduate level. Working with Indigenous communities and organisations requires relationship building, collaboration and ceremony. In these unprecedented times, scholars cannot simply continue “business as usual”. They must adapt everything, including how they teach, learn and work with Indigenous peoples, who are particularly vulnerable to this pandemic. Reflecting on the impacts that have already occurred and those that are still likely to come, the authors discuss what changes may need to be made in academia to support diverse actors within their scholarly community. They suggest changes to their scholarship with Indigenous communities in Canada to help them continue to work in a respectful, reciprocal and culturally appropriate way.

不确定性教育：COVID-19 期间作为土著健康学者的学术生活

随着 COVID-19 危机的继续发展，世界各地的社区发现自己生活在一个新的、不确定的时代。学校和大学的关闭严重扰乱了学生、教育工作者和研究人员的生活。随着向在线学习平台的突然转变、研究项目的局限性以及标准化政策和程序的缺乏，围绕这场危机的不平等影响引发了许多担忧。本文为从事土著健康研究领域的学生和学者汇集了关于 COVID-19 对中学后生活影响的不同观点。作者分别反思了这段时间如何影响他们作为即将毕业的学生、即将到来的博士生、初级教员和处于职业生涯中期的教员。他们的广泛教学和学习经验，加拿大多伦多的研究型大学已经发生了深刻的转变，并将继续改变他们在研究生层面的工作、研究和互动方式。与土著社区和组织合作需要建立关系、协作和仪式。在这个前所未有的时代，学者们不能简单地继续“一切照旧”。他们必须适应一切，包括他们如何与土著人民一起教学、学习和工作，他们特别容易受到这种流行病的影响。反思已经发生的影响和可能会发生的影响，作者讨论了学术界可能需要做出哪些改变，以支持学术界的各种行为者。
