Abstract

Indigenous doctoral students in the humanities are often faced with the gruelling task of representing the worldview/s of their people as sympathetically and correctly as possible. This holds true both for students who are undertaking qualitative research to address a particular problem, as well as for those who wish to engage in an entirely philosophical or theoretical inquiry.
