Indigenous communities have engaged in review and reflection to understand the impact of decisions and activities on community health and well-being since time immemorial. Indigenous evaluation is a long relied upon practice across many Indigenous communities to adjust and improve community-led efforts.
While Indigenous evaluation approaches have been documented for use in educational settings, for violence prevention, for youth well-being, and for other Indigenous public health outcomes, there hasn’t been an actionable guide for implementing Indigenous evaluation approaches. To help you apply Indigenous evaluation approaches, this training translates Indigenous values and knowledge into a cyclical learning process with actionable steps that teams can work through at their own pace.

- Articulate/describe Indigenous evaluation approaches.
