(If this isn't helpful, our apologies, feel free to unsub below.) Want to build better relationships with Tribes? You’re not alone. Thousands of professionals from every field imaginable are working with Tribes every day. But there’s a great dilemma we all share... The Big Problem: Quality Interactions Our efforts hinge on positive relationships with Tribes. These require authentic interpersonal and group interactions, but lots of things get in the way. Without their input, support, and partnership, our efforts fail in slow motion. This challenge comes from a common problem: Tribes don’t feel heard. This leads to difficult interactions, low participation, and strained relationships. Often, it even leads to litigation. So that’s the bad news. Now, the good news: We each have immediate options. We can refocus interpersonal and group interactions around a single new goal: Listening. Beyond Business-As-Usual Many professionals still use broken, impersonal communication with Tribes: Boiler-plate emails, generic meeting invites, unanswered voice messages, or infamous “Dear Tribal Leader” letters. Folks ask Tribes to join heavily-scripted, time-pressured, outcome-driven meetings that don’t truly value their time or input. Why? We want to promote participation, get more input, and build broad buy-in. We ask for their perspectives and views on our work, our projects and programs on our timelines. But often, in interpersonal and group settings, we’re not showing we truly value and encourage Tribal input. This is the common challenge: We’re not really listening. The solution sounds simple, but it’s not: Ask questions. Questions & Listening: I and We There’s lots of different kinds of questions. Start using the open-ended kind: * “Can you tell me more about that?” * “Are there other aspects of this you care to share?” * “What are your biggest priorities?” * “How would you describe your biggest concerns?” Use your own language. But remember: Open-ended questions get open-ended answers. They encourage someone to speak openly about a subject. Respectful, open questions are a great way facilitate input-sharing, information exchange, and good ideas—in both 1-on-1 and group settings. This new dynamic shifts our interactions. It creates smoother, open communication, and invites dialogue. This is the path to a more in-depth, sincere understanding of Tribal perspectives, interests, and values. But we do this differently in 1-on-1 vs. group interactions. 1-on-1 Interactions: Let vs. Make In 1-on-1 conversations, many professionals don’t take the time to truly listen. There’s lots of reasons for this. As professionals, many of us talk fast. We often focus conversations on information-sharing. We’re frequently pre-occupied with our own priorities—not with sincerely understanding the other person. We call for a reason. We send an email for a reason. There’s an outcome, goal, or purpose to our conversation—our priorities. For many of us, this makes sense: It’s a key skill. We’re busy. We must get to the point, keep things on-time, and work efficiently. This is how we get stuff done: we make things happen. But with Tribes, we must let things happen instead of make things happen. Focus on process, not outcomes—on quality interactions, not productivity. “I would say to non-Native people, spend more time asking questions and listening.” Brandy Lewis (Choctaw Nation) told BuzzFeed Media. Slow down and listen. Let others talk. Let them pause, take a breath, and collect their thoughts before they continue talking. Listen, and absorb what they say. Beyond conversational questions: * Sit down to talk, instead of standing; * Pause after people speak, letting silence linger; * Acknowledge what you heard someone say, and * Do the balance test—observe who’s doing more of the talking and listening. Then, measure it. Our conversations must create space where Tribal counterparts can be heard, understood, and respected. We can’t do this is if we’re just waiting for our turn to talk.  Group Meetings—From Agenda to Dialogue Meetings with Tribes are often dominated by non-Tribal organizations. Their agendas, their priorities, and even their structures of conversations—often at their locations. These dynamics overshadow the real purpose of interacting: listening, understanding, and respecting Tribal input. Meetings with Tribes should focus on listening and dialogue—not on getting things done. “It’s very important to understand the Indigenous cultures of relationship-building… getting to know each other,” Regina Lopez-Whiteskunk (Ute Mountain Ute Tribe) told High Country News. “That could be as simple as having a cup of coffee.” Approach meetings differently. Build into the agenda plenty of extra time, encouraging broad topical discussion instead of action-items. Become more flexible about agenda items, timelines, to-dos, and next-steps. Take time to acknowledge what was shared, especially Tribal perspectives. Highlight areas of shared interest and concerns. To make meetings more relational: * Add 50% or more time to the meeting; * Invite open-ended Tribal input on agenda topics; * Encourage open discussion, questions, and feedback; * Avoid rushing people or enforcing rigid timelines; * Ask clarifying or acknowledgment questions after Tribal counterparts share—ensuring you heard right; * Cultivate a 50/50 balance of Tribal vs. Non-Tribal priorities driving the meeting, and * Never interrupt. These changes incentivize participation. They foster mutual understanding, shared insights, and connection around our work. They transform group interactions. Transformed Relationships In Tribal Relations, we transform relationships and solve big problems by listening. It’s not easy, but the rewards are huge. We restructure conversations around questions, listening, and dialogue. More meaningful interactions build more meaningful relationships. You want mutual respect? Earn it as a listener, not a talker. Big talkers gamble bigger with their credibility. Listeners build credibility through questions that reveal our intentions. You can start listening as soon as tomorrow. Next Steps Tomorrow… Start by drafting three open-ended questions you can bring to your next conversations with Tribal counterparts. Afterwards, begin balance-testing your conversation. Ask: * Who did most of the talking; who did the listening? * Was it 25/75, 75/25, or somewhere around 50/50? * How can you re-balance this next time?  Then, think of three tangible things you can change about your group meetings with Tribes. These should encourage more questions, listening, and dialogue. I promise, at the very least, you’ll better understand people you interact with. You’ll also see changes in the tone, openness, and sincerity of these interactions. This can’t help but be a good foot forward. -Robert <https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/1101116784221/S.gif> <https://files.constantcontact.com/97d26f6c701/864c0fc8-f055-4981-8c86-0cab704b422a.jpg?rdr=true> Robert Harper <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0016sl__RsHgu2KwPH_z3LesTlgHf0f3DrqOSwmJssteMFscXiX-Ee0IdVuE2xeBlImKjsyknaoGN8j5ONohTYLFA3MpXONrnIM_9TaDH7tbJx81LDfukiqM0KxGMktNuxDYpDmiImTb_8_uHGGjSi-5YTS Haq_wKxQ&c=vumIJGu2pMU7Y2rBybxstxqRshzHY0VR_Rlu3IVnqz14u-o-JqAn0A==&ch=opvCKeJUhAAitiJ7T7hxP4Kj8oMuXWBzKCBJSVyf7v8TKL_Fw-VxsQ==> (JD, MA, MA) Executive Director America's leading practitioner and expert in conflict resolution with Tribes.
