Popis: To develop culturally appropriate education for Indigenous children in Canada, knowledge of childhood in Indigenous contexts is needed. This article focuses on the author’s learning journey during a community-based participatory research project regarding two Plains Cree Elders’ images, or understandings, of the child. To situate the study, the author revisits her research with Elders while exploring some epistemological, ontological,and axiological considerations of Indigenous research and then shares how she employed cultural protocols and forged relationships. Next, the author shares and reflects on the Elders’ understandings of childhood and the ways in which she cared for the Elders’ knowledge.
