As Aboriginal peoples begin to take control of research within the social services area, many of us are basing our methodologies on Aboriginal world views within an anti-colonial framework. Conventional as well as other guidelines for conducting research with Aboriginal peoples and communities must therefore emerge from the values of Aboriginal cultures. One Aboriginal research methodology - the storytelling circle - exemplifies these elements: the direct involvement of participants and the community; the reciprocal relationship between researcher and participant; the goals of self-determination, decolonization, and direct benefit to the community; and the potential for learning and healing.
