This interchange took place in a tutorial on social science research methods.
Tutor: One of the foundational values of conducting research with indigenous Australians is that the research must be of some material, direct benefit to them personally.
MA Student: *Sound of tremendous enthusiasm*
Tutor: Unfortunately, this doesn’t happen all that often.
MA Student: Yes, I’ve certainly witnessed that through my involvement with research.
Tutor: Oh, I know this is sometimes inappropriate, but do you mind if I ask if you identify as indigenous?
MA Student: Yes, I do.
Tutor: Awesome. From which people are your family?
MA Student: Actually, I’m indigenous to another part of the world.
Other Student: Kind of like how Danes are indigenous to Denmark?
