“…Historically, evaluation has been closely linked to accountability, and Western concepts of evaluation are focused on ownership of data, knowledge, and intellectual property (Velez et al, 2022). Inherent in Western methodology is the power dynamic between the evaluator and the subject of the evaluation.…”

This article was inspired by learning about Indigenous evaluation last year. What I learnt also resonated with history, in particular linking Indigenous evaluation with liberation struggles on the African continent in the 20th century. I am not an Indigenous evaluator, so my target audience is people like me. That said, I hope some of what I say resonates with those who are Indigenous evaluators. The article seeks to explain why and how Indigenous evaluation is more than a method or an approach. I understand Indigenous evaluation communities to be in a unique position as a necessarily disruptive movement, one that brings disorder to help realise a much-needed transformation or decolonisation of evaluation

Indigenous Peoples across the Arctic have adapted to environmental change since time immemorial, yet recent climate change has imposed unprecedented and abrupt changes that affect the land and sea upon which communities rely. Co-created community-based observing programs offer an opportunity to harness the holistic breadth of knowledge in communities with the goal of tracking Arctic change while simultaneously supporting community priorities and local-scale needs. The Alaska Arctic Observatory and Knowledge Hub (AAOKH) is a network of Iñupiaq observers from northern Alaska coastal communities working in partnership with academic researchers. Here, we describe five core functions that have emerged through AAOKH, which include tracking long-term environmental changes; communicating Indigenous-led observations of the environment and their meaning; place-based and culturally relevant education; enabling scientific and Indigenous Knowledge exchange; and supporting community-led responses to environmental change. We outline and discuss specific actions and opportunities that have been used to increase knowledge exchange of AAOKH observations, make space for the next generation of Indigenous scholars, and create locally relevant data products and syntheses that can inform resource management and community planning. We also discuss our ongoing efforts to increasingly shift toward a knowledge coproduction framework as we plan to sustain AAOKH into the future.
