Below are a few observations about the roles dreaming and painting have played in my research process, in the provision and development of a research model that is meaningful, relevant and useful for doing research as an Indigenous researcher and with Indigenous people.nahWith permission of the license/copyright holderhealth ethicsAboriginal theologycommunityBioethicsCommunity ethicsHealth ethicsArticle
