Tribal Partner Retreat
The concept for a CRCAIH Tribal Partner Retreat originated in 2016 during conversations between the Community Engagement and Innovation Division and Tribal Partners. The objective for the Retreat was to provide a face-to-face meeting where liaisons from each Tribal Partner could connect to:
- Share expertise and learn from each other
- Get feedback on questions they have or challenges they may be facing
- Identify ways they can serve as resources for each other
- Foster their connections and plan for the future
June 26-27, 2018 | Pierre, SD
The 3rd Tribal Partner Retreat was held again in Pierre, SD, with Melissa Buffalo of CEID leading the coordination. This time, staff representing all 5 CRCAIH Cores and Divisions were able to join the meeting with 4 CRCAIH Tribal Partners. Two summer interns with the Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) program also attended. After introductions and an overview for newer staff, discussions focused on data management, strategic planning for Year 7, and evaluation, including an engaging River of Life group activity. It was a good opportunity to discuss what everyone wanted accomplish in the upcoming grant year as well as plan for the future.

The Day 2 agenda included a presentation from SURE intern Carolina Garcia on Data Sovereignty and Governance. Katie Blindman (Oglala Sioux Tribe) and Michaela Seiber (Regulatory Knowledge Core) provided an overview/discussion of the Axiom Mentor software for online IRB submissions. The group finished the afternoon discussing sustainability, accomplishments and strategic planning with one another led by Dr. Victoria Grey Owl and Melissa Buffalo of the CRCAIH.

October 4, 2016 | Pierre, SD
The 1st Tribal Partner Retreat was coordinated by the Community Engagement and Innovation Division (CEID). The retreat began with introductions and a prayer. Attendees were then given the opportunity to choose from a list of 9 topics to discuss. The topics they chose focused on (1) building relationships with your tribal college and Tribal Council, (2) time management and setting priorities and (3) professional development. CEID provided various handouts useful in community engagement and relationship building. CEID also discussed a tribal partner perspective manuscript and next steps.
