	In community-based research, actions shape rather than just document reality. They can potentially create transformative ethical engagements across generations and cultures, like arguably happened with the igloo building in Gjoa Haven.

	However, when attempts are made to pre-emptively announce such activities as ethical practices while there are relational tensions connected to the research - like was the case in Coral Harbour- there is a risk that frameworks like the Ethical Space of Engagement are co-opted, and performed as symbolic gestures rather than as meaningful encounters.

	Claiming failure, may be a powerful way of resisting and refusing co-optation in such instances, rather than allowing for critical or Indigenous frameworks to be absorbed or neutralized. As Sara Ahmed writes: "Feminist work is often about pushing against structures that do not move; we might push and push, and yet those structures remain in place. To persist in pushing against what does not move is to become fragile; we are worn down by what we come up against.<ref>Ahmed, S. (2012).

	Likewise, Sara Ahmed argues that "inaction" as the withdrawal from oppressive structures can be more powerful than trying to change them from within: "“Not participating in an inheritance can be an action; not going along with something can be an action. We might refuse to inherit the spaces that we are given<ref>Ahmed, S. (2017 p. 136). Living a feminist life.
