| Abstract:
Extension faculty who work with the Federally Recognized Tribal Extension Program on five reservations in Arizona and New Mexico have employed diverse methods to evaluate their programs. They have found that certain types of evaluations work well with their indigenous community members. However, some standard methods used in county extension do not work as well or can be somewhat problematic. This round table discussion will present a summary of evaluation methods used for diverse projects on each reservation, and describe how each evaluation technique functioned in the context of a range of project situations. We will also query participants in the round table discussion about effective evaluation approaches for Native Americans and other indigenous populations that they may have experienced, to aid us in understanding more effective ways to evaluate programs on the five reservations: the Navajo Nation, the San Carlos Apache Tribe, Colorado River Indian Tribes; the Hualapai Tribe, and the Hopi Tribe.

| Abstract:
This presentation will describe the results of a project whose purpose is to identify valid, reliable, and meaningful indicators of success for the Native Hawaiian Education Council (NHEC). The NHEC provides oversight to a system of U.S. federally funded education programs serving Native Hawaiians. The search of indicators has ranged from what the U.S. Department of Education (US ED) needs for Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) reporting to what Native Hawaiian communities feel are important and often apparently unmeasureable outcomes. Following a presentation of the results of the indicators project, a series of targeted questions will be provided to stimulate participant discussion. These will include such questions as, “Can an indicators system include culturally meaningful but extremely subjective outcome measures?” “Should an indigenous education system accept and make use of non-native outcome indicators?”
