|Research Ethics Statement (Mandatory for Tribal Data) |

|Any proposed research workshop that includes data about a tribal community (whether the community is identified by name or not) |

|should have secured tribal approval to present the data in advance of submitting a workshop proposal. Any presenters submitting a |

|workshop proposal that includes tribal community data should be prepared to substantiate this approval if they are called upon to |

|do so. |

|[Initial here.] |

|For workshops with content pertaining to historical and/or generational trauma: |

|NICWA acknowledges that individuals working in the “helping professions,” especially child welfare workers, often experience |

|negative effects stemming from their work with traumatized American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) children and families. NICWA |

|also recognizes that there are many different types of trauma that affect people’s lives in negatively traumatic ways. These |

|traumas—with their varied symptoms and responses—can affect one’s daily spiritual, emotional, physical, and mental well-being. |

| |

|NICWA wants to take appropriate measures to ensure that participants have a healthy experience in conference workshops, which |

|requires a standard of sensitivity for the discussion of traumatic situations for AI/AN children and families be upheld. To ensure |

|workshop consideration, workshop presenters wanting to present on topics that include the discussion of issues related to |

|generational and/or historical traumas must also submit an action plan outlining how they plan to respond to the emotional and/or |

|spiritual needs of participants when issues arise. If it is decided by reviewers that a workshop needs an action plan but one was |

|not provided in the initial submission, the presenter will be called upon to provide one before a decision regarding the workshop’s|

|acceptance is made. |
