| Summary: | As teacher educators deeply committed to relational narrative inquiry and the centrality of living in relationally ethical ways alongside co-researchers, our initial turns toward living narrative inquiry as pedagogy were inspired by wanting to live in relationally ethical ways alongside undergraduate and graduate students. Following the sudden passing in 2015 of Singing Turtle Woman—Anishinabe kweElder, scholar, and long-time friend and research collaborator Mary Isabelle Young, we often told and retold stories of how her teachings of Pimosayta (learning to walk together) and Pimatisiwin (walking in a good way) were continuing to guide us. In this midst we gradually realized that Mary’s teachings opened potential in conjunction with our desires to live/practice relationally ethical assessment making alongside students. As we engage in autobiographical narrative inquiry into our recent coming alongside undergraduate and graduate students, in two Assessment as Pimosayta courses in two differing teacher education programs in Canada, we show how our bringing Indigenous ways of being, knowing, and doing alongside our practicing narrative inquiry as pedagogy supported our movements toward living relationally ethical assessment making. Como formadores de docentes profundamente comprometidos con la indagación narrativa, la aproximación que desarrollamos en el presente artículo tiene que ver con los modos en los que la indagación narrativa es vivida como pedagogía. Este modo de concebir la indagación narrativa tiene que ver con el deseo de querer vivir de manera relacional y ética junto a nuestros coinvestigadores y estudiantes de pregrado y posgrado. En 2015, tras el repentino fallecimiento de Mary Isabelle Young, Singing Turtle Woman, Anishinabe kwe Elder, erudita, amiga y coinvestigadora, a menudo contamos y volvemos a narrar historias de cómo sus enseñanzas siguen guiándonos. Enseñanzas de Pimosayta (aprendiendo a caminar juntas) y Pimatisiwin (caminando en el buen sentido) que se nos hacían presentes en nuestras ...
