鉴于与土著社区进行研究的复杂历史背景，在伦理上必须确保对这些群体的研究具有文化敏感性。尽管有这种需要，但缺乏基于经验结果的实际指导，以进行文化敏感研究。这一定性调查的目的有两个。首先，第一部分确定了与美国土著社区进行文化敏感研究的战略。其次，第二部分将文化敏感战略应用到土著社区的特定研究环境中。第一部分对13名土著和非土著研究人员进行了定性描述性研究，以确定研究中的文化敏感性策略。第二部分将确定的战略应用于与土著社区进行严格的批判性民族志。第1部分中出现的主题包括历史的影响、关系研究、融合文化敏感性和优势、展示耐心和协商多种观点。这些主题构成了研究人员的文化敏感性工具包，在第二部分中应用于本地化背景。文化敏感性提高了研究的质量和实用性，能够更好地解决一些土著社区面临的紧迫问题。
Given the complex historical context of research with indigenous communities, there is an ethical imperative to ensure cultural sensitivity in research with these populations. Despite this need, there is a lack of practical guidance based on empirical results to conduct culturally sensitive research. The purpose of this qualitative inquiry is twofold. First, Part 1 identifies strategies for culturally sensitive research with indigenous communities in the USA. Second, Part 2 applies culturally sensitive strategies to a specific research setting with an indigenous community. Part 1 uses a qualitative descriptive study with 13 indigenous and non-indigenous researchers to identify strategies for cultural sensitivity in research. Part 2 applies identified strategies to a rigorous critical ethnography with indigenous communities. Emergent themes from Part 1 include the impact of history, relational research, incorporating cultural sensitivity and strengths, demonstrating patience, and negotiating multiple perspectives. These themes inform a researcher's toolkit for cultural sensitivity, which is applied to a localized setting in Part 2. Cultural sensitivity enhances the quality and usefulness of research, which is better able to address the pressing problems experienced by some indigenous communities.
