Resumo

Discutimos nesse artigo nossas experiências pessoais ao desenvolver umprojeto de pesquisa participativa baseada na comunidade (CBPR) com a PrimeiraNação do Lac Seul para registrar algumas de suas histórias de uso da terra e paratreinar jovens da Primeira Nação e estudantes de nossa universidade em Arqueologia,Antropologia Cultural e Geografia. Com base na literatura acadêmica dos campos deGeografia e Antropologia, ilustramos como ambas as disciplinas influenciaram nossotrabalho e o entendimento de nossas jornadas profissionais e pessoais. Descobrimosprincipalmente que as fases tradicionais de pesquisa acadêmica do projeto e coleta dedados não descreviam adequadamente a fase inicial do projeto e a subsequente troca deinformações. Em vez disso, descobrimos as seguintes fases de pesquisa que se tornaramimportantes: Construção de relacionamentos, Projeto, Aprendizado, Imersão / Coleta dedados e Ativismo / Mudança de perspectivas.
