Description
Using talking circles, study explored the experiences of people living in a highly-researched inner-city neighbourhood of the Downtown Eastside. Participants expressed distrust towards researchers, noted a lack of transparency in research and believed that research holds little benefit for their community. Authors advocate for increased support for Indigenous-led approaches which stress community concerns and meaningful community engagement.
