“…Indeed, such practices have already demonstrated efficacy in several areas of applied sciences including environmental research (Lynn, 2000), public health (Mayer, Braband, & Killen, 2017), and psychological research (Paris et al, 2016). Published guidelines (Ross et al, 2010) exist for implementing such an approach, including for working with indigenous communities (Adams & Faulkhead, 2012). In the modern community psychiatry movement, this form of collaboration even extends to clinical treatment; community mental health clinics often include individuals with lived experience with mental illness as partners in helping others navigate transitions from inpatient hospitalizations to outpatient care and co-facilitate group therapies.…”

In recent years, the study of psychedelic science has resurfaced as scientists and therapists are again exploring its potential to treat an array of psychiatric conditions, such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and addiction. The scientific progress and clinical promise of this movement owes much of its success to the history of indigenous healing practices; yet the work of indigenous people, ethnic and racial minorities, women, and other disenfranchised groups is often not supported or highlighted in the mainstream narrative of psychedelic medicine. This review addresses this issue directly: first, by highlighting the traditional role of psychedelic plants and briefly summarizing the history of psychedelic medicine; second, through exploring the historical and sociocultural factors that have contributed to unequal research participation and treatment, thereby limiting the opportunities for minorities who ought to be acknowledged for their contributions. Finally, this review provides recommendations for broadening the Western medical framework of healing to include a cultural focus and additional considerations for an inclusive approach to treatment development and dissemination for future studies.

“…Indeed, dissemination of the new knowledge generated is to be transferred either to the scientific or the Sami communitynot, it would seem, the two together. The risk is thereby similar to what Adams and Faulkhead have highlighted, that this separation Breinforces division between community processes and academic methodologies, methods, ethics, permissions and ways of representing and presenting results^ (Adams andFaulkhead 2012, p. 1016). This division in turn risks the possibility that academically produced knowledge loses legitimacy amongst the particular indigenous community that is in focus (Ledman [Drugge] 2015).…”

How Can We Do it Right? Ethical Uncertainty in Swedish Sami Research

Research related to indigenous peoples in Sweden and elsewhere has a history marked by discriminatory practice and unequal research processes. Sweden has still not been very visible in terms of openly debating, developing and implementing ethical strategies specifically suited for indigenous research. The present study explores how research ethics is discussed among scholars within the Sami research field in contemporary Sweden. Fifty-six research proposals deriving from eight different research institutions and 160 individual researchers are analyzed, discovering how scholars relate to research ethics when planning for new research projects related to the indigenous Sami. The results demonstrate that ethical guidelines for research are often referred to, but that a common view on what guidelines to use is lacking, leading to a notable variety between different researchers. Ethical discussions are present in the vast majority of the proposals, however there are notable differences between the theories around how to proceed in a culturally safe, ethical manner, and the proposed methods that are to be used to implement theory in practice. In conclusion, there exists a great uncertainty among scholars on where to seek ethical guidance, how to relate to current legislation around research ethics and at the same time act ethically in a culturally appropriate manner. This uncertainty leads to questioning whether discussions of ethics are relevant in the first place, what they are supposed to include, how they are meant to be undertaken and what consequences can be expected from the presence or absence of ethics in indigenous research.

“…At each stage of a research project, it can function as an anchoring site for engagement between research partners, and it can support strong channels of communication with the community at large (Adams & Faulkhead, 2012). This article provides an example of the collective experiences of a 10-year-old multidisciplinary research committee operating within a First Nation community in Canada.…”

Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is a promising decolonizing approach to health and social sciences research with First Nation Peoples. In CBPR, the use of a community advisory committee can act as an anchoring site for trusting reciprocal relationships, collaborative decision-making, and co-learning and cocreation. Through a qualitative case study, this article illustrates the collective experiences of a wellestablished, multidisciplinary, and intersectoral committee that reviews, monitors, and guides multiple research projects in a First Nation community in Canada. Participants of the Alexander Research Committee (ARC) share examples of the value of fostering a high level of commitment to building both positive working relationships and learning spaces that ultimately result in research and policy impacts for their community.
