Abstract

The decision to undertake research as an Aboriginal researcher puts us in a precarious position. Opportunities have been afforded to us because of the struggles and challenges taken up by others in the struggle for self-determination and therefore, there is responsibility and accountability to continue in this struggle albeit my own expectations. Consider that it was not until the late 1960s that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were allowed to enter the Westernised classroom. Foregrounding all this is the fact that historically, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been the subject of numerous research projects making us the researched rather than the researcher.
