This paper engages in design research within the Indigenous Dayak community in East Kalimantan, focusing on addressing local health discourse. It focuses on methodological questions to adopt more sensitive and ethical research methods when working with local people. In doing so, this paper encompasses three key aspects: (1) examining transdisciplinary approaches from an Indigenous standpoint and human-centred design, exploring their intersections; (2) contextualizing the research within the local Indonesian community; and (3) proposing a set of methods to examine Indigenous Dayak health within the chosen approaches and context. This paper suggests adapting ethnographic sensibility to blend local and design vocabularies, attempting to create a space for discourse for setting up the design research and practice within this inquiry.
