Summary:This paper considers the ethical implications of auto-ethnography as a research method by examining the process of reclaiming a Métis identity suppressed for multiple generations. This examination uses the three ethical concerns identified by Carolyn Ellis (2007) as its framework. The paper argues for the use of auto-ethnography as a research tool as it provides space for first-hand narratives and is more in line with an Aboriginal worldview than traditional scholarly methods.
