<p>As we move through the 21^st century, research collaborations between western academics and Indigenous peoples are necessarily evolving. This paper explores one such collaboration, which is taking place in Marra Country, in the Gulf of Carpentaria (Northern Territory, Australia). As a group of Indigenous and non-Indigenous research colleagues, we reflect on the ways in which we grapple with the challenges in working across epistemic traditions to negotiate knowledge as a generative process. We apply the concept of transdisciplinarity as something which involves collaboration across knowledge communities. Such collaborations embrace the messiness necessary to move beyond singular constructions of truth within research practice and create space for the articulation of Indigenous ontologies and epistemologies. We consider our positionalities as researchers, and the accountabilities this creates. Whilst our accountabilities to Marra people, Country and Law were the primary drivers behind our collaboration, delivering meaningful outcomes for Marra also requires thoughtful engagement with government processes and the careful deployment of social science research methods. To tell our research story is therefore also to tell a small part of a bigger story about the contemporary complexities which Marra face in enacting their obligations to care for their Sea Country and its Law.</p>
