This is also the experience of Indigenous peoples in other parts of the world. Collectively Indigenous people are said to be the “most researched people in the world” (Smith, 1999, p. 3). As researchers, Indigenous people are relatively new travellers. This paper will explore using first person narrative the issues experienced by two of these new travellers. Within this paper Bronwyn Fredericks and Pamela Croft share part of their journey which was driven by process and a commitment to the broader Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander political struggle.
