I think there are lots of barriers that indigenous institutions and indigenous governments are still facing when it comes to actually getting equitable access to the resources to conduct their own research. There are still barriers within the tri-council policy that limit the kinds of research grants and the eligible expenses that indigenous organizations and governments can use those research grants to fund.
There's a cycle that happens in which indigenous organizations are constantly being asked to partner or consult on research grants but are not allocated the kinds of stable resources that are necessary to really engage in those partnerships. It's really important to consider, in policy, how to effectively and stably fund indigenous organizations that are doing cutting-edge research so that it can be more than consultation and can be a deep partnership.
