For over a decade， I have been doing research with Truku， Tkedaya， and Teuda people in Taiwan. I say doing research with， rather than about， indigenous people， because my philosophy is that research is a collaborative effort that includes the choice of topic， methods， collection of information and stories， and， to the extent possible， diffusion of research results. Yet， a professor’s work is more than research. In fact， the most public part of our jobs is teaching undergraduate students. This year， in spite of the great distance from Canada to Taiwan， I was able to fulfill a long-held dream: to teach indigenous studies in Taiwan with the same indigenous knowledge holders who have so generously nourished my research for so long.
