Résumé
Depuis des générations, les Inuit des régions arctiques ont exprimé le souhait d’être davantage impliqués dans la recherche et la nécessité d’un partenariat direct incluant les perspectives indigènes. En conséquence, les chercheurs sont de plus en plus conscients que l’étude du passé et du patrimoine d’autres peuples n’est pas un droit académique inhérent, mais qu’elle implique le développement de partenariats autochtones étroits. En conséquence, les cadres de recherche en partenariat sont de plus en plus reconnus comme des fondements essentiels pour décoloniser les pratiques de recherche dans l’Arctique, comme l’ont exprimé les communautés Inuit. Dans cet article, nous présentons des membres de la communauté Inughuit qui partagent leurs pensées et réflexions personnelles et communes, et qui expliquent comment ils envisagent les futures approches de recherche en partenariat, comment ils peuvent déterminer les objectifs de la recherche en partenariat, et ce que l’archéologie peut finalement apporter dans un Arctique en mutation.

Abstract
Inuit across the Arctic regions have for generations echoed a wish for a greater involvement in research and have voiced the need for direct partnerships that include Indigenous perspectives. As a consequence, researchers are becoming increasingly aware that studying other people’s past and heritage is not an inherent academic right but rather involves developing close Indigenous partnerships. Accordingly, partnership research frameworks are now being recognized as essential foundations to decolonize research practices in the Arctic, as vocalized by Inuit communities. In this paper, Inughuit community members share their personal and shared thoughts and reflections and present how they envision future partnership research approaches, how they can determine the objectives of partnered research, and what archaeology can ultimately contribute in a changing Arctic.
Keywords:
- Inughuit voices,
- community members,
