dc.descriptionThis text explores how Participatory Research (PR) can bridge Western and Indigenous sciences through a bicultural model. It emphasizes Indigenous knowledge as holistic and spiritual, contrasting Western objectivity. Using the Bear metaphor, it highlights Native science’s integrity and depth. PR is urged to support Indigenous autonomy beyond mere inclusion.
dc.description.abstractUntil the present time, we have had to stretch Western science so far that knowledge about Indian culture seems unreal. Research has been perceived and presented as mono-cultural, thus not accepted by the Indian community. All peoples including Native Americans have science or a way of coming to knowledge; each tribe has its specific methods, but for the purposes of introducing the concept of Native science and exploring its relationship with Participatory Research, we will deal in generalization about "Native" metaphysics.
