Recommendations for Conducting Successful Research With Native Americans
Abstract
Background In this article, I discuss factors that may affect working relationships between non-Indian researchers and Native American individuals and communities and give recommendations for conducting successful research. Methods I describe 7 factors including Native American communities must receive information back from researchers and have access to data collected from them, researchers must address assets and broader social issues, and researchers must place the needs of the community ahead of their own interests. Results and conclusions Carrying through on the recommendations will make for more effective, culturally appropriate research.

Indigenous individuals and communities are often mistrustful of participating in or supporting data collection, not least because data on Indigenous Peoples have long been used in ways that Indigenous Peoples do not support.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
