Abstract	The article discusses efforts made by native scholars across the U.S. to decolonizing research methodologies. It states that for many years, educators and students at tribal colleges and universities (TCL's) have recognized contributions of community-based scholars and their efforts to preserve and revitalize their cultural traditions and ways of living. Indigenous scholars have learned that such research is sacred work and is essential to their survival. Research also serves the sovereignty and sustainability goals of tribal nations. Author Linda Tuhiwai Smith, a Maori scholar, has published a book "Decolonizing Methodologies: Research and Indigenous People" that validates the significance of community-based research and discusses problems that indigenous researchers experienced with Western research.
