Using examples stemming from multiple projects, I will discuss ethics in the context of an Indigenous perspective. How do they envision honoraria? What does the notion of respect means for them. In one project, respect is aligned with being paid for the time spent with researchers, in another one, respect extends into multiple branches bearing flowers: such flowers are approaches and concepts embedded in specific cultures and researchers should pay attention to them: time and patience, methodologies embedded in cultural safety, openness and humility, embracing community interest, and leaving a legacy behind after the project is over. The latter, although often discussed in the literature, is still lacking in a large number of projects. This is a priority that should not be overlooked. In Northern Quebec (Canada), Indigenous members of different First Nations and Inuit have voiced their concerns regarding students and young researchers who have shallow understanding of their culture and history, leading to misunderstandings and non-respect in general. One Inuk woman once asked when she would see the face of new researchers. Anishnabeg people from different communities questioned if researchers will show up with their students while starting new projects or not. Universities should seek help from neighbouring Indigenous communities to decolonize the way they function and also to adapt the academic curriculum to support their views, teach their histories, embrace their cultures. In the end, projects in partnership with Indigenous communities have a strong relational component, and this component encompasses human and non-human relationships. This is important to Indigenous People.
