Abstract

This article explores the concepts of community driven research and experiential learning in the context of partnerships between universities and indigenous communities. Specifically, this article examines the successes and challenges of Miami University’s partnership with the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma (ESTOO). Taking a dialogic approach, a professor, two students and a tribal leader, reflect on their experiences within the partnership and provide insight into how partnerships between universities and indigenous communities might develop, function, and serve both students and community members.
