There is a need to decolonize and Indigenize Arctic research. Recent co-creative projects have illustrated how improved collaboration between Indigenous and non-Indigenous partners benefits all. Increasingly, more funding guidelines explicitly require co-creative approaches; however, these terms risk becoming box-ticking, obscuring continued exploitative practices. Similarly, good intentions do not always amount to ethical projects. Dominant Arctic research requires a better understanding of what ‘co-creative’ and ‘Indigenous-led research’ mean and a clearer grasp on the structural and practical requirements required to uphold Indigenous Peoples’ right to self-determination.
