ABSTRACT

Many aspects of Appreciative Inquiry support and encapsulate the culture of many different groups. For me, as an Indigenous woman, educator, scholar and professor, Appreciative Inquiry resonated with the stories and storytellers from my communities, where the Elders teach as the knowledge-keepers, and the ways of knowing and sharing this through stories. Storytelling is research, and the stories in AI inform us of our strengths and the best of who we are.
