When a Native "Goes Researcher"

Notes From the North American Indigenous Games

University of San Diego

This article explores the contexts and meanings of researcher subjectivity within a specifically racialized field setting, the North American Indigenous Games. Drawing on literature of feminist critique and using the concepts of subjectivity and identity work, the author analyzes ways in which "authentic Indianness" and "White privilege" affect the research process. At the heart of the analysis is an important epistemological question: How do power dynamics affect the knowledge production processes involved in research?

Key Words: Indigenous peoples • reflexivity • subjectivity • epistemology • fieldwork methods
