In this presentation, the presenter will speak to a developing model entitled, 'The Decolonized Garden.' This model presents a metaphor for developing Indigenous evaluation frameworks and shifting the foundations of the field to allow for Indigenous Evaluation approaches to develop and thrive. The presenter will share how this model was developed, it's content and how it can be used.
This model was created as a result of a doctoral research project exploring Indigenous evaluation frameworks. It draws together findings from the development process of existing Indigenous evaluation frameworks, the context they were developed in and the impact that they are having for the Indigenous peoples that they were developed for. These frameworks include the 'Evaluation with Aloha' framework (Queen Lili'Uokalani Trust, 2019), the 'Ngaa-bi-nya' framework (Williams, 2018), the 'Na-gah mo Waasbishkizi Ojijaak Bimise Keetwaatino: Singing White Crane Flying North' bundle (Rowe & Kirkpatrick, 2018) and 'Te Korekoreka' (Tokona te Raki, 2021).
This is both a tool for Indigenous communities, to develop their own unique framework, and for the evaluation field to consider how they are working towards or hindering an environment for Indigenous evaluation approaches to thrive.
