Outreach

Cultural Knowledge Sharing

The Native Northeast Research Collaborative’s programs and initiatives are designed for interaction with its audiences in mind. The Native Visiting Scholar Internship Program, Native Partners Project, and the Fundamental Documents Initiative extend to the Northeast’s Indian communities, while Educational Outreach is meant to focus on academic communities from K-16 through graduate studies.  The Commuck Initiative shows a relationship between Project staff, Native Communities, and student scholars.

Native

Partners
​
Program


Members of our tribal partnerships manage, share, and exchange their communities’ heritage in culturally relevant and ethical ways.  They review materials for culturally sensitive information, write cultural narratives using oral history and community-based knowledge, provide guidance on tribal-specific issues, and work with students on research projects.

Document

Initiative


Scholars in tribal communities assist us in re`covering the Native historical record in various ways: transcribing, annotating, managing databases, and creating community-based stories.  We have had three interns: Rachel Sayett (Mohegan, 2013), Eric Maynard (Mohegan, 2016-18), Danielle Hill (Mashpee, 2018).  The Project has also supported Native students from the Yale community.


Each community has documents that are considered fundamental to its identity.  For Americans, those materials may be the Constitution or less formal items such as the Gettysburg Address.  Editors recognize that other documents may supersede those choices for tribal communities.  The Fundamental Document Initiatives asks communities to identify documents that are particularly significant to their history.

The Collaborative promotes its mission through classroom presentations, teacher workshops, and consultations, inspiring a new generation of scholars to pursue careers in the Humanities or be enlightened by the Native world around them.

The staff have been actively engaged in efforts at the secondary, undergraduate and graduate levels with both teachers and students.  Our work in this regard has consisted of classroom presentations, workshops, seminars, and internships in addition to assisting students and researchers on class papers, senior essays, theses, dissertations, journal articles, and book projects.
