      abstract = {This book focuses on how Indigenous knowledge and  methodologies can contribute towards the decolonisation of  peace and conflict studies (PACS). It shows how Indigenous  knowledge is essential to ensure that PACS research is  relevant, respectful, accurate, and non-exploitative of  Indigenous Peoples, in an effort to reposition Indigenous  perspectives and contexts through Indigenous experiences,  voices, and research processes, to provide balance to the  power structures within this discipline. It includes  critiques of ethnocentrism within PACS scholarship, and how  both research areas can be brought together to challenge  the violence of colonialism, and the colonialism of the  institutions and structures within which decolonising  researchers are working. Contributions in the book cover  Indigenous research in Aotearoa, Australia, The Caribbean,  Hawai'i, Israel, Mexico, Nigeria, Palestine, Philippines,  Samoa, USA, and West Papua.
