Description
Summary:The writing of this article reflects a personal journey through the author’s own healing process in coping with death. He articulates the important role that Dakota and Ojibwe mourning and other ceremonies have played in his healing process. The author legitimates inserting himself personally by appealing to accepted methodological approaches that not only allow but encourage such an approach. The author’s intention is not to engage in an analysis of various methodological approaches but, rather, to employ an Indigenous methodological approach that focuses on writing from the perspective of one’s own experience.
