- Part 1: Foundations for Collaborative Research
Nov. 7, noon–1 p.m. Genuine tribal engagement and collaborative research with Tribal partners require foundational skills in relationship building, respect, and meaningful listening. Preparation involves familiarizing oneself with the academic literature on Indigenous Research Methods and research relevant to one’s field, understanding Tribal needs, and aligning with Tribal and university policies. The Office of Tribal Relations and the Center for Native American Research and Collaboration will guide participants through considerations for successful Tribal community engagement. - Part 2: Deepening Collaborative Research
Nov. 19, noon–1:30 p.m. The Office of Tribal Relations and Tribal partners will discuss key aspects of federal and state legislation and WSU’s Executive Policy 41, which establishes a respectful and reciprocal approach to Tribal engagement, consultation, and consent for work with Tribal communities. This policy upholds Tribal sovereignty, cultural respect, and WSU’s partnership with Tribal governments, requiring that university-related activities with potential impacts on Tribal communities involve meaningful consultation. Part of this session will also focus upon the CARE Principles for Indigenous Data Governance, which guide the respectful handling of data associated with Indigenous peoples.
