“…Silko (1996) discusses what was involved in writing short prose pieces and long essays in which ‘the written words depended upon visual images, or pictures, to fully express what I had to say’ (p. 15). I have learned that the importance of situation as place is understood as representation, for example, in the following American Indian landscape revealing that:…”

Narrative inquiry: locating Aboriginal epistemology in a relational methodology

Narrative inquiry represents an alternative culture of research for nursing science to generate understanding and explanation of Aboriginal people's 'diabetic self' stories, and to coax open a window for co-constructing a narrative about diabetes as a chronic illness. The ability to adapt a methodology for use in a cultural context, preserve the perspectives of Aboriginal peoples, maintain the holistic nature of social problems, and value co-participation in respectful ways are strengths of an inquiry partial to a responsive and embodied scholarship.

“…The Lagunas' sustained living in the arid region of the Southwest could not have been viable without the recognition that humans were ''sisters and brothers to the badger, antelope, clay, yucca, and sun.'' It was not until they reached this recognition that the Laguna people could ''emerge'' (Silko 1996).…”

“…To many traditional indigenous people, this awareness comes after years of listening to and recalling stories about the land. Silko notes that, ''I carried with me the feeling I'd acquired from listening to the old stories, that the land all around me was teeming with creatures that were related to human beings and to me'' (Silko 1996). This ''feeling'' survives and is reviving in indigenous people today.…”

Indigenous people view both themselves and nature as part of an extended ecological family that shares ancestry and origins. It is an awareness that life in any environment is viable only when humans view the life surrounding them as kin. The kin, or relatives, include all the natural elements of an ecosystem. Indigenous people are affected by and, in turn, affect the life around them. The interactions that result from this “kincentric ecology” enhance and preserve the ecosystem. Interactions are the commerce of ecosystem functioning. Without human recognition of their role in the complexities of life in a place, the life suffers and loses its sustainability. Indigenous cultural models of nature include humans as one aspect of the complexity of life. A Rarámuri example of iwígara will serve to enhance understanding of the human–nature relationship that is necessary in order to fully comprehend the distinct intricacies of kincentric ecology.

“…They connect the readers to the students by bringing the message forward. Early narratives were oral (Silko, 1996), and the students' stories were shared orally with me. In honoring their stories and re-presenting them in poetic form I encourage readers to read them aloud, to themselves and others, thus re-creating the oral nature of the stories: "A narrative works because of how it says something-not just what it says" (Ochberg, 2003, p. 129).…”

“Bringing the Message Forward”: Using Poetic Re-presentation to Solve Research Dilemmas

Researchers cannot always rely on traditional methods for solving research dilemmas. In a research project that explored the friendships and social relationships of four students with severe disabilities in four secondary schools in New Zealand, the author uses poetic re-presentation to solve several ethical and pragmatic research dilemmas. Within a wider context of arts-based research methods, poetic re-presentation is a method of re-presenting participants’ stories to answer research questions. The method involves crafting transcripts in a caring and relational manner to foreground the students’ stories, create verisimilitude and focus on the essence of the experiences, create coherent storylines, and create evocative text. Background to the development of poetic re-presentation in social science research is provided, and a context and rationale for using this method is explored. The process of creating poetic text from transcripts is described and illustrated, using extracts from one student’s stories to contribute to the growing poetry transcription literature.
