This symposium, led by two Indigenous professors, explores love as a research approach within Indigenous psychology, highlighting how relationality, reciprocity, and care serve as both methodology and medicine. Rooted in decolonizing frameworks, this work examines how Indigenous knowledge systems disrupt dominant paradigms that often pathologize or marginalize Indigenous peoples. The presenters will underscore Indigenous contributions to psychology, demonstrating how frameworks of love, kinship, and cultural continuity expand and transform the discipline itself. By positioning research as an act of resistance, this symposium shows how Indigenous approaches counter erasure, reclaim voice, and advance sovereignty in the face of ongoing colonial structures. It also illustrates how Indigenous psychology fosters collective resilience and wellbeing, particularly during times of political turmoil when communities are confronted with intensified threats to justice, land, and life. Decolonizing and resistance are presented not only as tactics of survival but also as pathways toward healing, social justice, and the flourishing of future generations.
