Purpose This study aims to reflect and honor Linda Smith and her seminal work Decolonizing Methodologies . Design/methodology/approach Reflecting on Linda Smith’s Decolonizing Methodologies: Research and Indigenous Peoples , I discuss my own application of Smith’s major contributions to my research, teaching- and community engaged work. I begin with my positionality and detail my journey as a Native Hawaiian teacher and researcher who has been influenced by the major tenants of Decolonizing Methodologies . After 25 years, Smith continues to empower Indigenous scholars and reminds us of the importance of the process of research and the necessary actions to collaborate with Indigenous communities towards knowledge production. Findings Reflections of how the tenants of Decolonizing Methodologies have influenced my own research, teaching and community engaged work. Research limitations/implications This is my personal reflection and so it is limited. Practical implications Other Indigenous scholars can relate to my reflections of Linda Smith and Decolonizing Methodologies . Social implications Many of us can attest to the power of Decolonizing Methodologies . Originality/value My reflections as a Native Hawaiian woman will add value to the special issue
