Do your homework You are a guest
● Every place/region has a
long Indigenous “Story”
● Traditional ecological
knowledge
![Page 10: Tribal Resilience and Adaptation Efforts in the Northeast ...€¦ · Etiquette in Tribal Engagement Tribal Climate Science Liaison & NE/SE CASC Activities Questions & Discussion.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052719/5f0788507e708231d41d7357/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

● Tribes are sovereign nations within
a nation with some International
(e.g. St. Regis-Akwesasne Mohawk
between the U.S. & Canada,
Tohono O’odham between the U.S.
& Mexico)
Understand that Tribes are Communities & Governments
![Page 12: Tribal Resilience and Adaptation Efforts in the Northeast ...€¦ · Etiquette in Tribal Engagement Tribal Climate Science Liaison & NE/SE CASC Activities Questions & Discussion.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052719/5f0788507e708231d41d7357/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Engagement: Start early andGive the time to build Relationships● There might be many steps for
Tribes to approve of a project so
approach them ahead of time
(months or longer)
● In person visits are better for
understanding the community
and priority issues
● Relationships shouldn’t end
when the project ends
![Page 13: Tribal Resilience and Adaptation Efforts in the Northeast ...€¦ · Etiquette in Tribal Engagement Tribal Climate Science Liaison & NE/SE CASC Activities Questions & Discussion.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052719/5f0788507e708231d41d7357/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Mutually Beneficial Projects: Be patient and listen● Listen and understand local needs and
cultural worldviews - this will shape the
project
● Develop the grants and projects with
the Tribal communities &
governments/departments
from the beginning
![Page 14: Tribal Resilience and Adaptation Efforts in the Northeast ...€¦ · Etiquette in Tribal Engagement Tribal Climate Science Liaison & NE/SE CASC Activities Questions & Discussion.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052719/5f0788507e708231d41d7357/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Be respectful and practice Reciprocity● What is considered respectful behavior
will vary in each community.
● It is very important to first find what is
expected from the community in order
to approach a project respectfully. A
level of respect needs to be initiated
from the onset of any effort.
● In many Indigenous communities,
respect goes beyond human-to-human
relationships and includes all beings
involved.

Be upfront & honest andhave a sense of humor!● Be upfront and honest with what
your ideas on the project are.
● Collaboratively plan out how the
research will be conducted and
how/if the findings will be
shared.
● Laugh! Don’t take yourself too
seriously.
