| Summary: | This article uses elements of autoethnography in the form of dialogue to frame the text. The author reports the dilemmas involved in conducting research that is culturally appropriate and offers a critique of standard academic language and procedures. The story method provides a major methodological tool to tell the stories of women in a study, funded by the Status of Women Canada between 1997 and 2000, titled “North American Indian, Métis, and Inuit Women Speak About Culture, Education, and Work.” Research procedures, how the participants influenced the shaping of policy recommendations, and follow-up results are discussed. |
