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.

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

1. engaging Indigenous scholarship, or

2. not engaging Indigenous scholarship

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

In dealing with this Great White Beast, I have chosen to rely on a very selective body of western scholarship to formulate ways of thinking outside of the classic western subject/object divide and not appropriate Indigenous scholarship in formulating my own understanding of ontologically generative paradigms.

Where appropriate, I have placed my journey in dialogue with Indigenous scholarship.
