Why is it important?
This paper demonstrates the importance of extending beyond the notion of consultation to ensure the equal contribution of indigenous perspectives and requirements to research.
Perspectives
In my doctoral research I found the university's ethics process assumed consultation with the Aboriginal community. However, I needed first to obtain the community's approval for my undertaking the research, to co-construct the topic, agree on research questions, and incorporate community research requirements. This process was not a formal or structural part of the ethics application.
