Abstract

Negative experiences and misunderstanding are common in tribal-academic research partnerships. The Holding Space: A Guide for Partners in Tribal Research draws on the concepts of governance, trust, and culture to strengthen relationships, honor tribal sovereignty, counter histories of opportunistic research, and recognize all ways of knowing. We apply the Holding Space toolkit concepts to the All of Us Research Program and call on all research studies funded by the federal government to honor governance, trust, and culture in research partnerships with tribal nations.
