"Decolonizing Data is a valuable resource and guide to taking a decolonized approach to Indigenous research for practitioners, academics, and researchers. The book notably takes an important stance in discussing and executing allyship in Indigenous research in an important area of health and wellness. Jaqueline M. Quinless offers a unique case study that is very helpful for non-Indigenous researchers who are wanting to engage with Indigenous research in a respectful way." - Lisa Monchalin, Professor of Criminology, Kwantlen Polytechnic University
