Library
There are many excellent resources on Indigenous and anti-colonial research methodologies with a practical focus.
This Library brings together open-access resources and links from several countries in one location for ease of reference and to help with an initial search for key examples. Launched in 2023, the site promotes the work of First Nations and majority-world scholars to reduce citational injustices. While the Library reflects the dominance of anglophone scholarship, we hope to expand the collection to include resources in multiple languages.
