<p><em>Poetic inquiry is a qualitative method that accounts for both the participants’ first-person perspectives and the researcher’s personal interpretation in a unique and invitational presentation of data.&nbsp; This paper will discuss, first, the use of poetic transcription to transform the Research Conversation interview scripts of Indigenous community members involved in a partnership with university educators.&nbsp; The research project examined the concepts of learning and education from those in the Indigenous community that were directly involved in the culturally appropriate programs offered at a Friendship Centre in Ontario (Canada).&nbsp; The key themes identified in the data will be shared.&nbsp; They include: 1. Education as a “lived reality” 2. Sense of Well-Being, and 3. Resolving Tensions.&nbsp; Second, the paper will present the respective poems that emerged from the poetic transcription that represent the researcher’s critical encounter with participants’ delicately complex stories.&nbsp; The manuscript addresses how readers’ emotions are implicated in poetic inquiry since the qualitative approach serves to appeal to the broader complexity of participants’ experiences.&nbsp; The poems, therefore, underscore the intensely personal encounter and individual impressions the researcher experienced and, in turn, offer readers an opportunity to share in the moments of the critical encounter.&nbsp; </em></p>
