<p>Indigenous community research partnerships face challenges when integrating technology into their infrastructure, and risk compromising the community’s cultural, technological, and rhetorical sovereignty. In this paper, we explore the practices that help mitigate this challenge, including making visible the technology itself and technology practices embedded in dominant research processes. We consider how technologies mediate community research partnerships and question how we overlook our understanding of and creation of technologies as designers. Drawing on empirical insights of community research across Indigenous communities, we provide guidance on technology use with values of transparency, accessibility, and relationality. From a lens of place and power, we unpack the question: <i>How can we cultivate technology in our research practices with Indigenous communities to honor their sovereignties?</i> By reflecting on technology in the context of community research partnerships, we acknowledge Indigenous people’s sovereignty and self-determination, heal from harmful systemic research practices through critical questioning and reflection, and rebuild relationships among multiple rich ways of knowing and being.</p>
