“…We were interested if publications were evaluating a framework, model, service, intervention and/or programme. Of the 24 publications, seven were evaluation studies (Blacklock et al, 2018;Bussey & Lucero, 2013;Grace et al, 2018;Johnson et al, 2015;Lawton et al, 2020;O'Donnell et al, 2020;Onnis et al, 2020). A further six publications, while not evaluative studies per se, did discuss a model that had been evaluated in the past (Hansen, 2012;Makoare et al, 2021;Mindell et al, 2003;Moss & Lee, 2019;Radke & Douglas, 2020;Robinson et al, 2017).…”

“…Relationality and relational practices emerged as a key dimension in a majority of the publications. Eighteen of the 24 publications highlighted the importance of honouring Indigenous worldviews and holistic understandings of the relationships and relational processes within and between families, communities, ancestors and the natural environment (Cameron, 2010;Gerlach & Gignac, 2019;Grace et al, 2018;Hamley et al, 2023;Hansen, 2012;Johnson et al, 2015;King et al, 2018;Lawton et al, 2020;Lucero & Leake, 2016;Makokis et al, 2020;Moss & Lee, 2019;Napoli & Gonzalez-Santin, 2001;Onnis et al, 2020;Robinson et al, 2017;Satour & Goldingay, 2021;Ullrich, 2020;van Schilfgaarde & Shelton, 2021;Zinga, 2012). This strong emphasis on relationality spanned geographic locations.…”

“…Ten of the 24 publications referred to the centrality of Indigenous self-determination in the development and/or implementation of frameworks, models, services, interventions and/or programmes, underscoring the need for Indigenous priorities and preferences to be honoured not only in the design and delivery of programs and services, but in policy making and planning (Cameron, 2010;Grace et al, 2018;Hamley et al, 2023;King et al, 2018;Lawton et al, 2020;Lucero & Leake, 2016;Mindell et al, 2003;Napoli & Gonzalez-Santin, 2001;Ullrich, 2020;van Schilfgaarde & Shelton, 2021). Studies in this group also emphasized the importance of implementation occurring in ways that honour the interdependence, interconnectedness and reciprocity of Indigenous worldviews.…”

“…Five of the 24 publications described the importance of meaningful partnerships with Indigenous peoples (Bussey & Lucero, 2013;Johnson et al, 2015;King et al, 2018;Lawton et al, 2020;Mindell et al, 2003).…”

National and state governments in settler colonial countries are increasingly committing to policies and practices aimed at strengthening Indigenous frameworks, programmes and leadership in child protection services. However, research‐based information on Indigenous child welfare services and programmes is sparse. This qualitative literature review explores and documents key features of Indigenous child welfare and protection models and/or frameworks in an international context, with a specific focus on Indigenous children, young people, families, and communities. Twenty‐four publications meeting the inclusion criteria were included in the analysis. Published frameworks, models, services, interventions and/or programmes within the broader area of child welfare and children protection that are Indigenous‐designed and/or led or developed in partnership or collaboration with Indigenous peoples were identified. The review highlights 11 key dimensions that underpin the frameworks, models, services, interventions and/or programmes. Findings of the review also reveal commonalities across Indigenous cultures and contexts that from an Indigenous perspective are considered fundamental to supporting Indigenous children, young people and families involved with child protective services. Additionally, the findings point to the critical need for ongoing advocacy for Indigenous‐designed and led services and programmes, including support for Indigenous research, evaluation and intellectual leadership.

“…External partners can engage with the centrality of community and family by exploring the creation of kinship opportunities; developing community kinship at the local level. The evaluation process is focused not only on individual achievements but also on how those achievements/successes relate to the community (Lawton, Hamilton, and Jackson 2020).…”

This study explored how organizations that offer programming and services in northern Indigenous communities could inform, adapt, and improve their evaluation approaches to involve an Indigenous perspective. Without this research, program evaluation may continue to be conducted within a Western perspective, a view that does not consider an Indigenous paradigm or cultural considerations. To examine Indigenous perspectives in program evaluation, the researcher conducted a scoping literature review using 15 secondary sources from Australia, Canada, and the United States of America published from 2010-2020. Through a decolonized methodology, the researcher sorted the data into themes according to the core values of an Indigenous Evaluation Framework. The findings contributed to the literature by addressing the gaps of decolonizing program evaluation, integrating cultural approaches, and instilling an Indigenous paradigm. Relevant to organizations that work with Indigenous communities, the research generated wise practices to engage program evaluation in a culturally appropriate manner. Building from this study, ongoing research is needed to support Indigenous perspectives in program evaluation.
