Picture-writing as Indigenous research practice

Linda Manyguns presents sinăăkssin as a study of Indigenous communication methods and their place in research. The book describes picture-writing, symbolic methods, and traditional protocols as ways to bring people together respectfully and make room for Indigenous knowledge. A housing crisis is rendered in story form, with culturally informed housing models linked to the aim of strengthening families. The book also challenges conventional research frameworks and colonial writing forms: its lowercase title is presented as part of that stance. Across these topics, sinăăkssin connects cultural practice with research and with questions of how Indigenous and non-Indigenous frameworks meet.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers studying Indigenous research methodologies and communication practices

Book overview

sinăăkssin is grounded in cultural practice and insists on writing about research from an Indigenous perspective, focusing on the theme of Indigenous communication methods and emphasizing that culture is alive and capable of influencing research in a good way.

active applications are guided by traditional protocol and informed by symbolic methodologies from the old ways, animating and disrupting the research process to open a respectful bridge that enables the Okaki otapi'ksi to modify the housing crisis depicted in storied form. the symbolic/storied housing replication challenges the tenets of research by creating unique, culturally informed housing models designed to promote building strong families.

critical to the application of Indigenous research methodologies process, Indigenous communications methods are a significant, forgotten part of Indigenous knowledge that has not been explored as an Indigenous research method. Using Indigenous symbols as communication tools for research and applying Indigenous protocols bring people respectfully together. that respect enables the contribution of ancient knowledges to correct the current misalignment in society with Indigenous ways of living.

sinăăkssin is a purposive application of humility and humbleness. written in lowercase, it resists conforming to colonial forms of writing and helps distinguish authentic Indigenous knowledge. this book's perspective is relevant to each Indigenous studies courses or teachings about Indigenous cultures, demonstrating the marvelous opportunities we can develop by using some of the oldest communication tools to juxtaposition Indigenous and non-indigenous interfaces.
