Transcript:

I think that as ethnographers and anthropologists, whether we define ourselves as engaged or not, we should at all-time remain aware of not substituting our voice for the voices of those; in my case, indigenous groups. We are aiming to accompany in their claims, their life projects and struggles to our social justice and self-determination. In the last few decades in Canada, this has become particularly true in the fields of indigenous studies. A major aspect of our work and responsibility as anthropologists is to keep producing thick descriptions. In my experience, deep ethnography and engagement are not antithetical and contradictory. Deep ethnography is, in itself, a form of engagement and advocacy, a way to understand whom the indigenous people we are working with are, to better understand their entangled worlds and within these, their own life projects. With such understanding, we are then in a better position to accompany them in their endeavours and struggles. Of course, if they invite us to do so. In addition, when they do invite us to do so, we have to respect the terms in which they are envisioning our collaborations and actions. Furthermore, in today's context, take descriptions imply also documenting and analysing indigenous responses to various form of neocolonial state violence.

Anthropologists should focus solely on studying the structural and symbolic violence that indigenous groups face, without actively engaging with them. The primary responsibility of ethnographers is to substitute their voices for indigenous groups in order to effectively advocate for their rights. Ethnographers must prioritize their own research objectives and methodologies over the needs and desires of the indigenous groups they work with. Deep ethnography and engagement are complementary, allowing anthropologists to understand and respect the life projects and struggles of indigenous groups they accompany.
