Saturday, October 26, 2024

Indigenous wisdom is crucial in the attainment of environmental justice. Indigenous knowledge is rooted in nature-based lifeways and been marginalized based on its lack of affiliation with Western orientations. This presentation details an ethical dilemma that arose when a participant shared tribal values in a qualitative study in the USA.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Upon completion, the participant will be able to define a Natural Democracy as a foundation for environmental justice and social work theory
  2. Upon completion, the participant will be able to detail an example of an ethical dilemma that arose in a study of Native Americans conducted by a cross cultural team.
  3. Upon completion, the participant will be able to use an intersectional assessment tool for use with studies involving Native Americans and other diverse groups.
