“…Our research sought to privilege Indigenous voices and perspectives in collaborative engagements amongst stakeholders (both Indigenous and non‐Indigenous). Indigenous stakeholders were supported to do this via a range of mechanisms, including enabling Indigenous peoples to speak and convey their thoughts, ideas and perspectives through a range of mechanisms within the framework and on their own terms (see, e.g., Dudgeon, 2021; Smith, 2021; Turner, 2021). It was also important to situate this within the political and the social and emotional reality of people's lives at the time (Dudgeon, 2021; Rigney, 1999).…”

In this paper, we discuss a rapid‐fire study involving Indigenous and non‐Indigenous stakeholders from the urban Indigenous health sector who collaborated to produce an “Urban COVID‐19 Systems Map.” The map outlines the behaviours, actions and responses that stakeholders identified as mitigating or exacerbating COVID‐19 risks in urban Indigenous communities. Data were collected and analysed during the height of the pandemic in 2021. We begin by introducing the characteristics of system thinking—the methodology that informed our research—and consider its use in Indigenous health research more broadly. We then outline our utilisation of system thinking and discuss how it was applied to the three workshops. System thinking contributes to collaboration and collective debate amongst stakeholders and aims to produce holistic understandings of complex problems, such as pandemics. This article provides a reflective overview of the benefits and challenges of applying system thinking in Indigenous health research whilst also sharing some of the research findings. We argue that centralising the voices of stakeholders, particularly Indigenous stakeholders, is critical to developing and implementing effective and culturally appropriate responses to pandemics and is equally as important to the preparedness for future pandemics.

“…It does so as it "disrupts the certainty of disciplinary knowledges produced in the twentieth century, when the study of Indigenous peoples was largely the knowledge/power domain of non-Indigenous scholars" (Moreton- Robinson 2016, 3). Since the late 1980s a body of Indigenous scholars practicing CIS has emerged, making the field even less about studying the other and more about critical practice by and for Indigenous people (Hokowhitu 2016;Moreton-Robinson 2016, 3;Moreton-Robinson 2020;Hokowhitu 2020;Pihama 2020;Smith 2020;Tuhiwai Smith 2020;Turner 2020).…”

Dreaming of an Eighth Fire Museum Practice: Indigenous voices in the Canadian Museum of History and Te Papa

Museums and Indigenous peoples have long had a complicated relationship. Though this difficult relationship is well documented, the experiences of individual Indigenous museum practitioners have not been closely examined. Instead, the literature tends to focus on decolonising museums, collections management and repatriation, and museum practice more generally. Studies do not specifically engage with the experiences of individual Indigenous museum practitioners, nor do they delve too deeply into the question of what happens to their voices in museums. Through an exploration of the ways in which Indigenous museum practitioners’ voices appear in the Canadian Museum of History (CMH) and Te Papa, this thesis addresses that gap in the literature. I ask about the connections between Indigenous voices in the museum and the experiences of contemporary Indigenous museum practitioners. Through a framework based on the Anishinaabe Seven Fires Prophecy, this research goes on to revise and expand the field of museum studies by asking what a different future might look like for Indigenous museum practitioners. This research was conducted using qualitative methods. Semi-structured interviews explored questions about the experiences of Indigenous museum practitioners and focused on the ways their voices appear in each museum, as well as their dreams and aspirations for the future of museums and museum practice. Interviews were supplemented with observational research in exhibition spaces. This research is theoretically grounded in critical Indigenous methodologies including Kaupapa Māori, and research as relations and reconciliation. I also employed autoethnography and ethnography to reflect my non-objective role in this research, and action research in order to reflect the research’s forward-looking, change-making nature. I found that Indigenous peoples see their voices appearing in front of house spaces via language, as well as objects and their arrangement. Their voices also influence the operation of these museums through their unique perspectives as Indigenous people. Though they are making differences in museums, Indigenous museum practitioners still have to fight to be heard in many instances. The most poignant finding is that their dreams have positive change-making potential. Based on their dreams, I make recommendations for changes to current professional practice in the sector and contribute academically to the museum studies and Indigenous studies research landscapes through the use of the Seven Fires Prophecy as a framework.
