“…Speaking of her own ambivalent relationship to feminism, Cree Métis philosopher Lorraine Mayer reminds us that today's unsettling feminist landscapes have a past. Histories of colonization that extend into the present may produce both “anticolonial rage” and defensive postures necessary for survival, turning contact between white feminists and their Indigenous students and colleagues into “a perpetual combat zone” (Mayer 2007, 34, 24; see also Moreton-Robinson 2002; Hinsdale 2016).…”

This essay seeks to unsettle feminist philosophy through an encounter with Aboriginal artist Tracey Moffatt, whose perspectives on intergenerational relationships between (older) white women and (younger) Indigenous women are shaped by her experiences as the Aboriginal child of a white foster mother growing up in Brisbane, Australia during the 1960s. Moffatt's short experimental film Night Cries provides an important glimpse into the violent intersections of gender, race, and power in intimate life and, in so doing, invites us to see how colonial and neocolonial policies are carried out through women's domestic labor. Seeing cross-generational and cross-racial intimacy through Moffatt's lens, I suggest, helps us to unsettle both feminist theories of motherhood and feminist practices of mentoring.

“…The principles of mutual recognition, respect, sharing, trust, and mutual responsibility facilitate a wholistic relationship of reciprocity between mentors and mentees [10,15]. Indigenous mentorship focuses on building relationships that are respectful and reciprocal, and that recognize each other's sociocultural contexts in ways that allow for vulnerability, trust, and confidence to emerge [17]. Through these relationships, mentees are guided to maintain cultural integrity, find their gifts and community roles, and understand their responsibility of reciprocity [18].…”

Indigenous peoples have been engaged in research since time immemorial, and have always acknowledged the power of their own knowledge systems, ways of being, and approaches. However, Indigenous peoples continue to be underrepresented in health research within academic institutions. There is an increased need for Indigenous leadership in health research, including greater Indigenous autonomy, mentorship, and self-determination in health research. This scoping review aims to explore Indigenous mentorship within Indigenous health research in post-secondary institutions in Canada, the US, New Zealand, and Australia. A review of empirical studies, case studies, reviews, commentaries, and grey literature was conducted. Four databases were used: Web of Science, PubMed, Native Health, and Google Scholar. Out of 1594 articles, 11 articles met the inclusion criteria. Four overarching themes were identified: (1) reciprocity: giving back to community; (2) supporting the development of research skills to build research capacity; (3) fostering a sense of belonging; and (4) building student ownership and confidence. The findings suggest that Indigenous mentorship is vital to creating supportive research environments for Indigenous students in the area of health sciences. Indigenous mentorship holds promise to address challenges faced by Indigenous scholars within post-secondary institutions, including intellectual, social, and cultural isolation, and can help to foster greater integration of Indigenous worldviews in Western-dominated academic settings and research systems. Future research should examine place-based mentorship opportunities for Indigenous students in community-based health research environments. Fostering Indigenous mentorship in health sciences is essential for advancing the health and wellbeing of Indigenous peoples and communities.
