Indigenous community-driven research ensures Indigenous people, knowledge, governance, languages, ceremonies, relationships, land reclamation, and self-determination are at the forefront in all stages of the process (process stages). Community-driven research takes a decolonizing approach by centering community and culturally-based knowledge and perspectives within the research journey and not the careers of researchers within the academy. There are many terms used to describe research with community within the academy: community-centred, community-based, community-minded, and community-engaged, to name a few. Each partner within their community-driven research is committed to building the organization while meeting each challenge and opportunity with integrity and determination. This is its strength. Research affects everyone, including those who work within the institution, which can be forgotten when we place ourselves in artificial settings to test or prove a theory. What are the impacts of research when we work with communities on their terms and on what they want?

Maamwizing 2024 conference is dedicated to hosting a respectful knowledge exchange through ceremony, keynote speakers, workshops, social events, panel discussions, creative/art-based sessions, individual papers, and poster exhibits.
