“if research hasn’t changed you as a person, then you haven’t done it right” (Wilson, p.135). 

Although seemingly self-explanatory within Indigenous research paradigms, such a statement requires explanation in western academia. And its meaning  
was far from obvious for me as I visited the communities I ended up working with, for the first time. 

In fact, the concept of "becoming other" remained an elusive concept - alongside the idea of "being with-" that I carried with me, almost to the last weeks of my community-based research. Rather than defining "becoming other" here, I pass the concept on to you, to take along and consider as an as aspirational state to attain, and its meaning to be acquired as it comes to matter.
