Abstract
This thesis explores cultural meaning-making in documentary filmmaking as a process that places storytelling in local hands by positioning the filmmaker as a listener-facilitator to find a space for mutual knowing between Western and Indigenous worldviews. The critical analysis applies an Indigenous, comparative decolonial lens to explore the process of Multiple-eyed Seeing as it relates to creative arts practice and Indigenous methodologies oriented to empowering local native voices to challenge popular conventions in documentary production. Creative arts pedagogies are studied while working with a transcultural framework drawing upon Indigenous guiding principles of Inupiat, Māori, and Samoan peoples; alongside research methods of community-based participatory action research (CB-PAR), autoethnography, narrative reflection; and co-creative processes of collaborating with Elders, localhost and crew members to ground the ethical pursuit of cultural restoration, empowerment, self-determination, reciprocity, and agentic representation.
