Indigenous Hip Hop is something unique with its modern form of culture that resonates with our ancestors knowledge. What makes it different from mainstream Hip Hip are the storytelling of the experience being Indigenous in the modern-day colonised countries. Hip Hop itself is Indigenous from its original ancestral routes to Indigenous people from around the globe living in the Bronx. My Indigenous ontological position allows me to create the story of Indigenous people in the Bronx taking on their ancestral roots from Africa and South and North American communities and creating a culture on their urban environment. Indigenous Rap is the new form of storytelling on the daily lived culture of Indigenous youth from urban to remote communities in both Canada and Australia and beyond.

My research is a snapshot of people I talked to and experiences I was having during this research experience. My intent for my research was to help bring forward a voice for Indigenous youth that are a part of this Indigenous cultural phenomenon. Most research with Indigenous youth and Hip Hop looks at it from a culture and racial theories, I wanted to come to the research from an Indigenous perspective that allows me to privilege the history and stories from Indigenous perspectives. I did this through creating an Indigenous Research Paradigm that grounded the research in Indigenous philosophies and worldviews. I tried my best to not pan-Indigenise my research so I went all the way back to learning history from communities on their creation stories that hold balance in life.
