You have encountered a “Great White Beast”, a fleeting, shapeshifting figure that performs the world as indeterminate.

The ethics involved when it comes to drawing from research paradigms that consider the world as indeterminate, intra-dependent and ontologically generative, cannot be resolved through ‘right’ ways of doing things[1].

Non-Indigenous researchers engaging any form of generative ontologies need to take responsibility for whichever option they choose:

Engaging Indigenous scholarship.


Or,


Not engaging Indigenous scholarship.

Neither option is “innocent.” There are no "easy ways out".
