“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.

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.
