This Guide was developed by Bowman Performance Consulting and Wilder Research as part of our work with the Minnesota Department of Education to conduct an Indigenous Evaluation for Minnesota’s Preschool Development Grant. It was developed to help the State of Minnesota, Indigenous organizations, and others to recognize the steps and considerations necessary to design and implement an evaluation that considers Indigenous ways of knowing. It contains concrete tips and tools, and includes links to other resources.
The State of Minnesota was awarded a federal Preschool Development Grant Birth through 5 (PDG B-5) Renewal Grant in late 2019. The PDG B-5 aims to align and coordinate multiple systems for families with children, prenatally through age 5, including American Indian families.
