Abstract
Land of the Osages Research Farm is the most recent addition to the University of Missouri's Agricultural Experiment Station. Partners advising and engaging with the farm include MU, local, and Osage Nation representatives whose unique perspectives contribute to a dialogical narrative collage presented here as a case study for intercultural and place-based research farm development. In a movement towards relational accountability to each other and to place, with LORF as the central case, a methodological review supports bridging and braiding Indigenous and allied approaches for reflexivity and culturally responsive research that respects Osage sovereignty and local context. Given the geographic distance between the communities involved with and connected to the site, a deep mapping of LORF further supports presencing partners in the ecological, social, and temporal story of the farm. To effectively share a product of this research beyond the conventional dissertation format, a story map of LORF offers an accessible multi-media website and video recording inviting partners as/and research participants into a place-based relational awareness.
