This paper focusses on the processes of Indigenous knowledge collection. Oral histories, intellectual property rights, copyright and research protocols all play a role in these processes. A key component of the research data management and writing of Indigenous people's stories albeit oral histories becomes; an invaluable form of knowledge retention and protection. These stories will come in the form of an autobiography of an Elder's life and that of their community. The paper talks about the appropriate methods and protocols needed in order to have a culturally safe environment during the process. Working with the Wiradjuri Nation of New South Wales, the aim of the research on Wiradjuri autobiographies is to assist in protecting and maintaining Wiradjuri knowledges for present and future generations. The paper will discuss that with the guidance of the Wiradjuri Council of Elders, the research will contribute not only to this field of research but also to the community as a whole with a methodology of autobiography. Within this context the Mataatua Declaration (1993) and other similar declarations will be taken into account during the process of writing and publishing. The Wiradjuri Council of the Elders will be both preserving and monitoring 'the commercialism or otherwise of indigenous cultural properties in the public domain' (Mataatua Declaration 1993: Section 1:1.8a). With Indigenous methodology and culturally safe protocols put into place, as well as the Wiradjuri Council of Elder's guidance, the research on autobiographies and Oral Histories will reach its full potential. This process assures the community that no knowledge meant to stay inside the community will be published and broadcast within the wider global context. |
