Semi-structured Interviews with Tribal Leaders

Semi-structured interviews were conducted with Tribal leaders who were asked about: 1) The Tribe’s current abilities to influence regional and national decision-making processes and the degree to which general community members were now involved in local decision-making processes. 2) The role that they thought their traditional knowledge was both currently playing in the larger decision-making processes as well as what role they thought it could/should play in the future. 3) Their own visions, as local leaders, of the ideal future for their families and the community of Wainwright and what, if anything, they felt needed to happen for their community to achieve that ideal future.
