Give one sentence explaining valuing indigenous identities from the brief below

Question

Engaging in decolonial psychology research often starts with researchers
renegotiating their cultural identity to accommodate an understanding of
how colonisation has shaped their selves and others’ identity (Snow et
al., 2016).
For non-indigenous researchers this involves understanding the role
colonisation and apartheid has played in their personal privilege, and in
perpetuating the oppression of others. It also involves engaging in
empowerment practices rectifying flawed or distorted knowledge
systems and accommodating alternative systems of knowledge. But this
does not imply that non-indigenous researchers can ultimately see
themselves as locals. It means that they develop a better appreciation for
past and contemporary battles related to colonisation and apartheid, and
advocate for new, affirmative research paradigms and methodologies.
This goal is evident in various qualitative research efforts in psychology
already.

Answer 1

Valuing indigenous identities involves non-indigenous researchers acknowledging and addressing the impact of colonisation on their own privilege and on perpetuating oppression, while also advocating for new research paradigms and methodologies that empower indigenous knowledge systems.
