“…There exists sizable tribal variation in patterns of physical and emotional health; cultural practices, beliefs, and behavior; disparities; and risk and protective factors (Volkow, 2012). These wide variations underscore the importance of attending closely to unique needs of specific tribal groups (Tippeconnic & Fox, 2012), along with seeking commonalities that can lay the foundation for generalizability of core aspects of interventions. Both across- and within-group considerations are vital to guiding intervention development and adaptation.…”

Health disparities exact a devastating toll upon Indigenous people in the USA. However, there has been scant research investment to develop strategies to address these inequities in Indigenous health. We present a case for increased health promotion, prevention, and treatment research with Indigenous populations, providing context to the recent NIH investment in the Intervention Research to Improve Native American Health (IRINAH) network. We discuss the disproportionate costs and consequences of disparities borne by Indigenous groups, the limited evidence base on effective intervention for this population, how population uniqueness often makes transfer of existing intervention models difficult, and additional challenges in creating interventions for Indigenous settings. Given the history of colonial disruption that has included genocide, forced removal from lands, damaging federal, state and local policies and practices, environmental contamination, and most recently, climate change, we conclude research that moves beyond minor transformations of existing majority population focused interventions, but instead truly respects Indigenous wisdom, knowledge, traditions, and aspirations is needed, and that investment in intervention science to address Indigenous health disparities represent a moral imperative.

“…Guillory and Wolverton's (2008) study showed the importance of family in the educational process and said that the emphasis on family and community reflects a communal culture from which these students come. When community and family values are embedded in school activities, as Tippeconnic and Tippeconnic Fox (2012) indicated, the connection could provide a foundation for development and awake the desire to achieve.…”

“…Although teaching from a perspective of tribal values is not a new phenomenon, it remains a critical piece to socialize young people. Tippeconnic and Tippeconnic Fox (2012) said that there is a need to continue to include and view native cultures, languages, histories, and values as strengths in teaching and learning at all levels of education. Kurt said, "It doesn't have to be the entire lesson but we should touch upon culture everyday, somewhere.…”

“…In spite of these efforts, recent national educational reforms emphasized public accountability, standards, student assessment, and reading, math, and science content with little, if any, emphasis on Indian cultures and languages (Tippeconnic & Tippeconnic Fox, 2012). The drive to significantly measure student achievement can overshadow or divert attention from efforts to make education more relevant and engaging for Indian students (Oakes & Maday, 2009).…”

“…For years, Indian education leaders have advocated for an increased use of Indian languages, cultures, and values as a way to increase Native students' and their families' engagement and involvement with the schooling process. In spite of these efforts, recent national educational reforms emphasized public accountability, standards, student assessment, and reading, math, and science content with little, if any, emphasis on Indian cultures and languages (Tippeconnic & Tippeconnic Fox, 2012). It is apparent that Native students are being left behind.…”

Historically, Native American students have lagged far behind their non-Native peers in education achievement. While no consensus exists in the research of effective school reform efforts, one factor does surface in report after report-strong school leadership. This qualitative case study analyzed data from in-depth interviews with four Native American school principals who recently completed an education leadership program designed for leaders of schools that serve Indian students either on or off the reservation. Based on Brayboy's (2006) TribalCrit theoretical framework, the analysis revealed themes related to the importance of having a Native American principal, understanding and being committed to the local and community values, and sorting out those Western schooling ideas that are not compatible to Indian cultures.

In this chapter, we reflect upon the historical context and intersection of kinship and its relationality to Indigenous evaluators and their path to the evaluation profession. Indigenous evaluators with Indigenous lens perspectives are crucial to the field of evaluation. Our ability to ensure the success of current and future Indigenous evaluators requires that we reflect and examine both evaluation and Indigenous experience through an Indigenous lens. Our narrative concludes with suggestions that we move past the status quo of evaluation learning and teaching and embrace the concept of kinship as a component of addressing this complex and challenging issue within the field of evaluation.
