Indigenous Evaluation Toolkit

The Great Plains Tribal Epidemiology Indigenous Evaluation Toolkit is a resource provided to tribes for evaluation support and serves as an overview to indigenous evaluation concepts.

What is evaluation?

Evaluation, according to A Dictionary of Epidemiology (2008), is “A process that attempts to determine as systematically and objectively as possible the relevance, effectiveness, and impact of activities in light of their objectives.”

What is indigenous evaluation?

Indigenous evaluation involves approaching evaluation from a perspective and using methods influenced by indigenous ways of knowing, frameworks, and cultural paradigms.

This Toolkit is intended to provide guidance, tools, and other resources to support tribal communities in approaching evaluation from an indigenous perspective.
