Place, lndigeneity and Research Relationships: In search of sacred places.

This research project is set up as an exploration of self vis-à-vis territories. Adopting an ethnographic approach, the project seeks to explore notions of sacredness and sacred places through a reflexive dialogue between the researcher and the place in which he grew up. The dialogue will be established during and through the creation of a film for which the researcher will go in search of what could be called sacred place(s) in his home environment, while involving his home community as well as an Indigenous peer as road companion. Through the creative process, the researcher and his peers will seek to give shape to a parallel exploration of place that encapsulates both Indigenous and non-Indigenous perspectives of sacredness and sacred places.
