As a Master's of Education student I became more pressed with the reality thatmainstream and Indigenous prerogatives about knowledge in the academic terrain arebeset with separate cultural intentions that hinder negotiations in intellectualterrains. I was challenged with the idea that this phenomenon needs to be understoodand that understandings are possible as Aboriginal people take the lead in researchinitiatives. This article presents components of ethical space in academia with apersonal examination of story, family and community, and Elders.
