Résumé

This article surveys, from a social justice perspec
tive, the author's experience of 50 years of field-based research
in northern Indigenous communities, before and after that
research involved local partnerships. While the objectivity of
research is never absolute, it is a better guide to social justice
than is political ideology. Examples are cited where public
policy and certain politically influential academic research, are
motivated by ideology, ignoring ethnographically based re
sults. Finally an example from an unrelated context cites a
study that showed, in the United States, that political affiliation
determines either belief in or denial of anthropogenic climate
change, regardless of educational level.
