For Indigenous researchers, the complexity takes specific forms, usually forms that are embedded within the values and beliefs about human interaction. These values and beliefs are inherent to the culture im-plicated in the research, and if the researcher is a member of that particular cultural group, the challenges can be even more complex. Many, if not most, Indigenous scholars engage in contemporary research for the explicit purpose of bringing benefits to their communities and their people, and they are usu-ally prepared for such challenges. The challenges that some of us may not be well prepared to face are those associated with what seems to be recognized in the academy as ‘acceptable’ scholarly research, with definitions and de-scriptions from within a specific discipline. However, even to have full under-standing within the parameters of one discipline would still leave some of us struggling with the issues that surround the situation of ‘acceptability’ with-in an inter-disciplinary approach to researchengWith permission of the license/copyright holderresearch ethicsculturecommunityCultural ethicsMethods of ethicsCultural/intercultural ethicsArticle
