'This research paradigm is a collaborative effort that utilises the notion that Country, community and Indigenous research methodologies (storytelling, deep listening and yarning) are of significance collectively when engaging in Indigenous research. This framework positions Country as the foundation of the research paradigm. Community is the guide. This paper draws on the connection between Country and community and encourages Indigenous and non-Indigenous researchers to understand the significance of Country and community in connection with Indigenous research methodologies and to be aware of the dangers that exist in using these methodologies inappropriately. The paradigm can be adapted for Indigenous and non-Indigenous researchers engaging in research using a Western research paradigm.' (Publication abstract)
