RECONCILIATION: MOVING FORWARD TOGETHER - APPENDICES
C-4
C.3 Indigenous Strategies and Protocols TWC takes the approach that data is information, and this means that the ways and methods of gathering any stories or information through data collection needs to be pursued using understanding, transparency and appreciation for those who are sharing their knowledge and understanding. With respect to integrating Indigenous methods and approaches, TWC held phone discussions and interviews using respectful communication and language. Furthermore, interview guides were highly accessible to Indigenous Nations, communities, and organizations and interviews were facilitated and organized based on Indigenous protocols. Indigenous strategies and protocols included: • Discussing anonymity, privacy, and confidentiality prior to the collection of data; and, • Meaningful engagement of the Indigenous Nations, communities, and organizations in the engagement process, which included providing an opportunity to review data collection methods and tools prior to participating in the discussions or interviews and providing high-level summary notes, stripped of any identifiers, to participants for review.
