-Food Sovereignty & System Level Work

-Look at how tribal communities have reclaimed culture and land

-Build authentic relationships…seeking to understand the other human rather than engaging in extractive and transactional practices.

*Transactional relationships focus on immediate benefits and exchanges, while relational relationships prioritize emotional connection and long-term mutual support. Extractive relationships, on the other hand, are a type of transactional relationship where one party disproportionately benefits at the expense of the other, often lacking reciprocity and mutual support

Rural communities possess a unique dynamic, grounded in mutual support and strong interpersonal connections. This deep-rooted sense of togetherness allows their communities to thrive. However, due to historical injustices and broken trust, it can be challenging for them to open up to outside support. How, then, can we build meaningful, respectful relationships with our local tribal communities and effectively support their needs? One of the dancers stated “ we want to be involved in these conversations and we deserve to be apart of decisions at the table. We are capable at contributing to federal policy, better support our native youth, building more connections, relationships, etc”

Using Family and Student Voice to Create Powerful Partnerships- spoke to cultivating relationships of trust and respect- not just us speaking to them but direct co creation with family engagement.

How to use the data- the administrative and faculty staff feel the students open up more deeply to other people not involved with their everyday education. Having a panel of people who are inquiring without

Appreciative Inquiry Approach- what do they feel they need?

Something as simple as setting up the room as a circle!

Key Take Away- not only informing students we care about their voice, but often area that needs more is showing the students we heard them and changes being implemented as a result of their voice.
