Abstract

This paper examines applied anthropology in relation to Native self-determination. Adherence to the principle of self-determination in research produces a fundamental shift from independent to collaborative research. The paper discusses Native people’s involvement in research design and the role of aboriginally defined policy in shaping the parameters of applied research.The research-policy nexus remains dominated by non-Native practitioners and bureaucrats employing inappropriate methodologies. Anthropologists can strengthen interdisciplinary research by advocating the use of participatory and other qualitative research techniques which Native people view as ‘culturally appropriate’.Cet essai traite de l’anthropologie appliquée mise en rapport avec l’autodétermination des autochtones. On note une mutation radicale de la recherche indépendante à la recherche collective lorsque le principe de l’autodétermination est mis en application. L’auteur décrit l’engagement des autochtones dans l’élaboration d’une recherche et le rôle de leur politique concernant les paramètres de la recherche appliquée.Les praticiens et bureaucrates non-autochtones aux méthodes inadéquates détiennent toujours le monopole du lien entre cette politique et la recherche. Les anthropologues peuvent renforcer la recherche interdisciplinaire en encourageant la recherche collective et toute autre technique de recherche qualitative jugée « culturellement appropriée » par les autochtones.
