Question 2

Describe the steps you would take to maximize the cultural competence of your problem formulation in studying a social problem among a Native American tribe living on a reservation.

Accepted Answer

1. Educate yourself on the history and current issues facing Native American tribes, particularly those living on reservations. This could include reading books, articles, and academic papers written by Native American scholars, as well as attending cultural competency trainings or workshops.

2. Engage with members of the Native American tribe you are studying. This could involve building relationships with community leaders, participating in cultural events or ceremonies, and conducting interviews or focus groups to better understand their perspectives and experiences.

3. Approach the study with humility and an open mind. Recognize that your own cultural background and biases may influence your problem formulation, and be willing to challenge and reevaluate your assumptions as you learn more about the tribe's unique cultural context.

4. Collaborate with members of the tribe throughout the research process. This could include co-designing the study, seeking input and feedback on your problem formulation, and involving community members in the analysis and interpretation of the data.

5. Consider the ethical implications of your research and prioritize the well-being and autonomy of the tribe. This may involve obtaining informed consent, protecting the confidentiality of participants, and ensuring that the research benefits the community in some way.

6. Reflect on the power dynamics at play in the research process and strive to amplify the voices of the tribe rather than speaking on their behalf. This could involve sharing your findings with the community and advocating for their priorities and needs in academic and policy spaces.
