​Cultural Diversity

This one to three-day seminar aims to increase knowledge, skills and abilities for non-Indian and Indian practitioners, administrators, and policymakers to work effectively with American Indian and Alaskan Native tribes and Indigenous populations in the United States. By increasing the quality of understanding and communication with Indian Nations, an agency or organization will be able to improve services, develop effective working relationships and maximize positive outcomes for tribal projects. The training provides a comprehensive overview of historical and current issues for Indigenous people including culture and tradition, language, law and politics, economics, and issues that impact cross cultural communication and interaction. The training is conducted on-site or at a selected site by a team of Indigenous professional trainers and facilitators.
