The evaluation of Indigenous research practices overlooks the cultural protocols, traditions, and ceremonies that are critical to conducting research with Indigenous communities. To illustrate, the authors share how practices of Kwayâtisiwin (defined as “We Prepare” in the Nêhiyawêwin, Plains Cree language) attune people’s minds, bodies, and intentions to the Nêhiyawak (Plains Cree) tradition well before formally recognized research begins. This is not a how-to guide on how to engage with Nêhiyawak communities; instead, it is a way to show the invisible labour that is overlooked in academic evaluations of what is successful and meaningful research. In particular, the authors identify three methods of Kwayâtisiwin through their work in serving Nêhiyawak communities within Central Alberta. They share ontological and philosophical insights to challenge what constitutes “impact” and “real research” for the betterment of the Northern Door and the generations that follow in academia
