“I deeply appreciated learning to think from a totally different perspective about these issues,” wrote a participant. "I would highly recommend the class to any colleague interested in learning more about the nuances associated with tribal communities,” wrote a 2019 participant.

“The training was really great. I learned a lot, I liked the pace very much. There was a lot to learn—all of it was valuable to me. I took 12 pages of notes,” wrote a participant.

“I have worked with tribes most of my career and this was the first time a training could generate tangible risk & reward insights I can apply to my work. I took the most from the systems and adaptable formulas we used… which let us hone our specific work and relationships with tribes… not using a cookie-cutter kind of formula or list of knowledge checkboxes…” wrote a participant.
