Abstract: This session will complicate our understandings about indigenous approaches to evaluation. During this session we will explore four spaces that American Indians occupy in the United States, will discuss implications for evaluation in each space, and I will provide a deeper understanding of how leaders of thirty-two urban-based American Indian non-profit agencies perceive and practice indigenous approaches to evaluation in their organizations #Indigenous #values #UrbanAmericanIndians #nonprofit #CulturalResponsiveness

There are many added challenges to overcome when implementing evaluations in a Third World context, ranging from technological to cultural. Cultural differences and language barriers are among the most prominent and challenging obstacles to providing a credible evaluation of any indigenous people. This article provides insights from the evaluator’s experience of overcoming these obstacles during an evaluation conducted in Mozambique, Africa, with the Sena and Ndou indigenous groups. This paper addresses the issue of cultural competence and what that means for evaluators. #InternationalandCross-CulturalEval #MultiethnicIssuesinEvaluation #thirdworld #2009Conference #DiversityandInclusion #culture #IndigenousPeoplesinEvaluation #Evaluation2009 #indigenousevaluation
