This chapter provides a transcript of the panel session held late in the Landscape in Language Workshop to discuss ethical issues, especially in the context of research by, or with, Indigenous peoples. The session was chaired by David Stea and the panel members were Renee Louis, Carmelita Topaha, Andrew Turk and Renée Sieber. Eight other workshop participants also contributed to the discussion. The transcript of the panel session has been slightly edited to remove comments about the process and to improve the coherence and flow of the dialogue. No significant content was removed.
