Abstract: Indigenous communities have always engaged in review and reflection. Western research and evaluation frameworks may not align with ancestral and cultural wisdom, and we hope to address this through our Indigenous Evaluation Toolkit. As Indigenous communities continue to shape programming to reflect their own stories, ways of knowing, and cultural perspectives, there is a growing need for frameworks that support the infusion of this knowledge into the evaluation of their programs focused on substance use prevention, treatment, and recovery support. Through step-by-step guidance, worksheets, and storytelling, this toolkit offers communities an iterative, reflective, continuous learning process for beginning or incorporating Indigenous evaluation.
