Abstract
Goal: To learn what research approaches are considered respectful and trustworthy by Native American populations.
Ethical and scientific justification: The Federal Regulations of human research and other ethical guidelines did not prepare us for what we have learned, by trial and error, about conducting research on Native American populations. If research with these populations is to be conducted validly and respectfully, the ground rules need to be learned inductively, and ideally shared with other investigators.
