D2: Whittling the Circle from a Square Peg: How Translating Cultural Tools Bridge to Program Evaluation

Session Description: Indigenous peoples have long been skilled observers of the natural environment and the behavior of their relatives (two-legged, four-legged, winged nation, plant nation). Assessment, reflection, problem solving, and quality improvement practices are only a few evaluation examples our ancestors implemented for the sustainability and well-being of our people. This interactive session invites participants to learn how to develop a local level evaluation plan that engages youth, family, and community partners while focusing on increasing protective factors such as cultural connectedness.
