How can researchers use deaf indigenous epistemology as an analytical tool for learning about the diverse lives of deaf people within the deaf community? In response to this question, the author describes a case study of emancipation research within the Cameroon Deaf community. As part of this, she discusses the challenges of the research process. She also discusses the use of a participatory approach to research. Some of the challenges included exposing the Cameroon Deaf community to their indigenous knowledge. The researcher tried to provide this exposure in a way that enabled the empowerment of the Deaf community.
