7.00-10.40 Helen and Deborah explain some of the historical context from the MÄoriĀ and Anishinaabe perspective. They reflect on the legacy of colonialism and how it has impacted and continues to impact on the way research is undertaken on Indigenous communities.

22.43-29.27 Discussion of research methods and approaches (Indigenous and non-Indigenous) and what works and what doesn’t in an Indigenous context.
29.27-38.28 A discussion of what good collaborations look like, how they start, evolve and lead to research that can benefit the groups of people or communities concerned.
38.28-end Ros talks about how the project is working to help non Indigenous researchers by providing ideas and resources that can support them to generate effective collaborations that lead to impactful research.
