Paper short abstract:
Indigenous-led project results reveal how key partnership competencies challenge mainstream institutional decision-making processes by providing the space to confront and re-distribute power in support of equitable research engagement.
Paper long abstract:
From 2019 to 2020 Indigenous Works, a non-profit Indigenous-owned and led Indigenous social enterprise, brought together Indigenous and non-Indigenous business leaders and academic researchers from across Canada to investigate how they establish and sustain meaningful partnerships. The study team engaged "Two-eyed Seeing", an Indigenous methodology aimed at decolonizing the research process, to inform the collation and analysis of participant contributions. Study results define a "partnership model" that identifies nine competencies key to creating and maintaining meaningful partnerships. Identified competencies, which include sharing power and promoting vulnerability, reflexivity, and willingness challenge mainstream institutional decision-making processes by providing the space to confront and re-distribute power in support of meaningful and collaborative enterprise. This paper outlines the results of the research and proposes that these same leadership competencies, and the partnership model itself, can be extended to establish equitable research-based partnerships between Indigenous communities and research institutions.
