“…Contemporary disapproval has replaced sentimentality for the buccaneering immersion by roving western social scientists into the lesser-known realms of remote people in distant places (Chilisa, 2012).From a historical distance, we assume that the intrinsic value of these intellectual forays seemed comparatively unquestionable, where, for example, anthropological research, like health and welfare, were parts of the moving machinery of the colonial administrative, economic, and military enterprise (Ashencaen Crabtree, 2012). Postcolonial critiques have rejected the notion of the exoticism and romance of encounters with the remote and Indigenous Other, where this attitude is considered anachronistically mired in colonialist assumptions that carry a series of dubious beliefs and claims (Smith, 2012).…”

Strongly emerging Indigenous methodologies have attracted researchers to employ diverse research paradigms within a moral commitment to conducting research based on ethical sensitivities and appropriate research protocols, as informed by research work with marginalized and unfamiliar groups including Indigenous Communities. However, adopting Indigenous methodological approaches may raise additional ethical considerations requiring a nuanced examination of what these may entail and competing ethical claims regarding research funding, research processes, outcomes and output. In this article, we draw sociological insights from Bourdieusian theory, as well as feminist epistemology, to explore the ethical implications arising from qualitative research the authors recently completed with Indigenous communities in equatorial Malaysia and Costa Rica, where Indigenous land rights and access issues form the contextualizing and comparative backdrop to the study, with reference to relevant international UN policies such as the Sustainable Development Goals.
