Elizabeth Joffrion and Natalia Fernández Western-Roundup 2015 Denver, CO

Sovereignty, self-determination, and self-governance are primary goals of Indigenous nations worldwide—and they take important steps toward those goals by renewing control over their stories, documents and artifacts. In the U.S. the last 30 years have been a remarkable period of reasserted and reaffirmed authority over such cultural patrimony through the creation of tribal archives, libraries and museums. Miriam Jorgensen, Sustaining Indigenous Culture: The Structure, Activities and Needs of Tribal Archives, ATALM 2012

1)How are successful collaborations between tribal and nontribal institutions initiated, developed, and maintained? 2)How were the project goals and agreements negotiated and to what degree were the Protocols for Native American Archival Materials used or referenced in developing policies and procedures for partnerships involving Indigenous cultural heritage materials? 3)What were the challenges or “lessons learned” across a diverse range of collaborative projects and partnerships?

A mixed methods research design (both qualitative and quantitative) that entailed two phases: 1) In-Depth Online Survey 2) Interviews

1) Demographic and institutional information 2) Nature of the collaborative project (goals, partnerships, funding/institutional support) 3) Practices supporting relationship building and the collaborative process 4) Policies and procedures for the collaborative management of Indigenous cultural heritage materials 5) Lessons learned and recommendations for best practice guidelines

Questions expanded on the survey by exploring: Origins of the project Methods for building trusting relationships Mechanisms for formalizing collaborative agreements Exploration of project policies and procedures Incorporation/influence of the Protocols for Native American Archival Materials We interviewed tribal and non tribal representatives from a range of organizational types

1) Demographic and Institutional Information 2) Nature of the Collaborative Projects 3)Practices Supporting Relationship Building and the Collaborative Process 4) Collaborative Management of Indigenous Cultural Heritage Materials: Policies and Protocols 5) Lessons Learned

The types of responding institutions fell into 9 categories:

Respondents’ institutional missions represented 5 categories:

Geographic Location: Respondents were located around the United States

The Partnerships Project Goals Funding and Institutional Support Project Leadership

Mechanisms for formalizing respondents’ collaborations took several forms:

The Protocols emerged as a critical managing document for many of the projects surveyed. The data indicate that 44% of the institutions surveyed actively use or refer to the Protocols in their daily work, and 38% directly used the Protocols in the development of project policy, procedures, and contracts for their collaborative projects.

The survey data indicate that most of the project participants, both tribal and nontribal, actively sought to include Native perspectives and knowledge:

The projects also applied a range of methods for providing special treatment for culturally sensitive information (% of projects that incorporated the following):

1) Get started early, be flexible, and build trust slowly. 2) Challenge your motivations and be authentic. 3)Respectful communication is fundamental. Strive to understand tribal perspectives and express a willingness to learn from and work within tribal culture. 4) Establish and communicate clear, realistic project goals and time-lines while respecting cultural differences. 5) Be flexible when formalizing collaborative agreements. 6) Successful collaboration requires committed and equitable institutional support from both partners, as well as outside funding.

Lesson 1: Get started early, be flexible, and build trust slowly. “The most important thing is to invite the other person to participate and to ask questions. Ask them for permission informally at first and then formalizing the relationship will be easier. The Western way is to ‘get down to business’ whereas the Native American way is to talk and take time to get to know one another first. You have to be willing to accept and be patient about the silences.” “Show respect by spending the time to get to know tribal communities—in order to become a trusted part of the community, you have to become a part of it.”

Lesson 2: Challenge your motivations and be authentic. “Be authentic in what you are striving for; go into the project with an open mind and open heart and not seeking to personally benefit.” “Try to understand yourself and your own motivations; be as genuine and authentic as possible. Do not have ulterior motives.”

Lesson 3: Respectful communication is fundamental. Strive to understand tribal perspectives and express a willingness to learn from and work within tribal culture. “The best way is to ensure a Native perspective is accurately given and that all partners have a chance to ask questions, create boundaries, give ideas, approve movement forward, and generally get to know and trust each other.” “It is important to listen, have patience, and always keep the well-being of Native communities in mind.”

Lesson 4: Establish and communicate clear, realistic project goals and time- lines while respecting cultural differences. “Success is learning from one another and building trust in the relationship. [You] need to establish what ‘success’ means from the very beginning in order to know project goals and to assess success. Communication is a challenge.” “There was a learning curve in terms of time differences and perceptions in time management.”

Lesson 5: Be flexible when formalizing collaborative agreements. “Get the tribal governments to pass a resolution, have more than two contacts and have them within various parts of the tribal governance structure, have regular meetings, be flexible, ask for more time than you think you need from the beginning. Get a memorandum of understanding and develop an advisory board.” “Communicate frequently, take notes (share them) and don’t leave a meeting without an action plan.”

Lesson 6: Successful collaboration requires committed and equitable institutional support from both partners, as well as outside funding. “As with most of these types of collaborations, the key to the success of the project is ensuring that each partner involved, both tribal and nontribal, are equal key partners from the very beginning. “It is important that commitment in a relationship begins and is centralized at the very upper level of both institutions—tribal leaders and university presidents must be committed and willing to support each other.”

Every society needs educated people, but the primary responsibility of educated people is to bring wisdom back into the community and make it available to others so that the lives they are leading make sense. —Vine Deloria Jr., 1997
