**Abstract:** This paper addresses the methodological challenges of working with Indigenous peoples in the Anthropocene. Drawing from the author's geographical fieldwork with *Tayal* people, one of sixteen nationally recognized Indigenous groups in Taiwan, it argues that ontological shift is required in the dominant ways of thinking about resilience research. After reviewing a well-adopted Australian custom called 'Acknowledgement of Country', the paper addresses the concept of Indigenizing methodology and mobilizing the concepts of 'Country' and 'situated resilience' in *Tayal* settings. Finally, the paper proposes methodological principles for better engaging Indigenous knowledge in a more-than-human world on an ethical and constructive basis, as well as its implications for resilience research.
