摘要

In this chapter, we explore culturally and communication-responsive research with First Nations Deaf and Hard of Hearing communities. Using the Murnong, a native yam daisy, as a metaphor for resilience, we reflect on the importance of integrating traditional and contemporary research practices through co-design. Emphasizing reciprocity, cultural authority, and self-determination, in the chapter, we discuss the importance of working with communities to shape research, advocacy, and First Nations leadership. We share early experiences, lessons learned, and aspirations for future First Nations disability-led research, offering insights into the unique experiences of Deaf and Hard of Hearing First Nations individuals.
