“…More important, a culturally informed approach is emic in nature and facilitated by representatives of the cultural group itself whereby issues, concepts, views, and interests of pertinence are conveyed through cultural lens. The Indigenous populations of North America possess worldviews and belief systems that are often reframed in western terms of understanding or considered peripheral to formalized models and measures of behavior (Champagne, 2015). This study aims to unearth subjugated Indigenous knowledge which may inform, augment, and/or possibly broaden the concepts encompassed within existing risk instrument structures.…”

Violence risk instruments are widely employed with at-risk minority clients in correctional and forensic mental health settings. However, the construction and subsequent validation of such instruments rarely, if at all, incorporate the perceptions, worldviews, life experiences, and belief systems of non-white communities. This study utilized a culturally informed qualitative approach to address the cross-cultural disparities in the forensic risk literature. Cultural perspectives on violence risk assessment were elicited from a sample of 30 American Indian and First Nations professionals from health, legal, and pedagogical sectors following an inspection of the Structured Assessment of Violence Risk in Youth instrument. Generally, participants believed that the Structured Assessment of Violence Risk in Youth instrument was not culturally appropriate for use with American Indian and First Nations youth in its current form. Recurrent themes of concern included the instrument’s negative labeling capacity, lack of cultural contextualization, individualized focus, and absence of cultural norms and practices. Recommendations to improve the cross-cultural applicability of the Structured Assessment of Violence Risk in Youth are discussed within.

“…When the Inupiat community criticized the researchers for not obtaining consent according to accepted "lower-48" standards and spoke about the community harm done to them, the researchers argued that there was a difference between releasing data about an identi able individual and releasing data about a whole community [6,9]. This is a major tension in the discussion of informed consent in a tribal context: As Champagne writes, "The basis of protection of human subjects was individual human rights" [3]. The type of protections, if any, provided to communities as a whole is an essential concern for many tribes.…”

“…In the case of one California university, researchers did not inform their human subjects that they risked becoming sterile by participating in their study. When the participants did, indeed, become sterile, and made the common connection back to this study, they successfully won "hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation" [3]. After this incident, universities and research agencies began to use Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) to protect not only human subjects from harm but also researchers and universities from collective action claims.…”

BACKGROUND: Tribal communities in the United States (U.S.) have a long history of subjection to unethical and exploitive medical and research practices. Today, many Tribal nations are establishing procedures in order to protect themselves from further harm and to advance culturally informed research practices. These procedures are also meant to ensure that their communities benefit from research conducted within their communities. Informed consent is a key element in protecting human subjects, but it may not be sufficient in the tribal context, as its conception is rooted in Western understandings of protection. Specifically, the informed consent emphasizes the individual, rather than the community as a whole, which is just as important in the context of conducting research with Native communities.METHODS: We conduct a systematic literature review to answer two related questions: How is informed consent being conceived of by U.S. tribes? And how is informed consent being required by U.S. tribes? Our inclusion criteria include articles focusing on informed consent within the U.S. tribal context, written in English in 2010-2020. Articles that did not fit our inclusion criteria were excluded. Two reviewers independently reviewed and coded 30 peer-reviewed articles by using content analysis and, in an iterative process, agreed on emerging codes and themes. RESULTS: A number of themes arise in the selected literature, including the conception of informed consent as a process, its operation at various levels (individual, collective, and government-to-government), possible alternatives to informed consent, and the need for specificity about ownership of samples and data, benefits and/or risks, and the methods and procedures that researchers use in the course of study.CONCLUSIONS: Our key results point to a need for clear and transparent information for prospective research participants and for consent forms and processes to include the collective, as well as the individual. This will better align with the cultural values and political standing of sovereign tribes in the U.S.

“…However, I must position myself in this article as I liberally use the terms 'ours' and 'us' in relation to myself and others of tebrakunna country. While I do not speak on behalf of all Aboriginal Tasmanians, I take my leave from Champagne's view of the 'insider researcher' 14 who is Indigenous and a researcher and works in their own community. While the Indigenous researcher is an 'outsider' even among other Indigenous groups, they are only an insider within their respective community.…”

“…While the Indigenous researcher is an 'outsider' even among other Indigenous groups, they are only an insider within their respective community. 15 As an active participant within community-based research, I have helped shape government policy and broader community views to reframe relationships for many of us, including myself. I belong to the 'us' and 'ours' of trawlwulwuy peoples and tebrakunna country.…”

Aboriginal Tasmanian peoples have been characterised by extinction myths as an outcome of colonialism. The subsequent dispossession and exile from lands and seas for surviving communities have increased trauma. This article analyses the recent efforts of Aboriginal Tasmanian peoples to reframe relationships with the Tasmanian Government and create conditions for our emancipation away from colonial harms. To decolonise political negotiating environments and inject Indigenous-led strategies of ‘love-bombing’ that reflect cultural processes of kinship and reciprocity, we reset the relationship for good governance. Two case studies of Tasmanian land and sea management illustrate how an Indigenous politic has been created for reclaiming identity among shared futures.
