Day 2: March 25, 2021

 Cultivating relationships that last season over season

How might we set up partnerships to be long lasting? We must encourage continual learning with supportive behaviors that will shape the way that partnerships evolve. Collaboration skills enable us to work with others in complex environments, with the understanding that successful collaboration requires a cooperative mindset and mutual respect. How might we explore and share strategies to make collaboration smoother, more straightforward, and more productive, despite the complexity of the challenges we are facing together?

Standing the Test of Time: The Arizona Native Vote Election Protection Project

Panelists: 

  • Angela Willeford | Intergovernmental Relations Project Manager, Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community
  • Travis Lane Assistant Director, Inter Tribal Council of Arizona
  • Kris Beecher | Navajo Nation Bar Association member; ASU Law 2020 JD graduate and W.P. Carey School of Business MBA graduate 

Hosted by: Patty Ferguson Bohnee Indian Legal Program Faculty Director and Indian Legal Clinic Director

Native Americans in Arizona were denied the right to vote until 1948, and the state continued to deny voting opportunities for Native American through laws, policies and practices until 1970 when English literacy tests were outlawed. However, many Native peoples in Arizona still face difficulties voting. In partnership with the Inter Tribal Council of Arizona, the National Congress of American Indians, the Native American Bar Association of Arizona and the Indian Legal Clinic at the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law at ASU, the Arizona Native Vote Election Protection Project was established to provide a resource to Arizona's tribal communities and tribal members to ensure access to polls and prevent voter disenfranchisement.  In addition to training election protection volunteers to assist voters at polling locations on election day, the Project has a dedicated website, an "incident command center hotline" to answer voter questions, and an interactive map to help voters find their polling locations.  Indian Legal Clinic students are tasked with creating a plan for each election cycle, organizing and conducting trainings, preparing reports, and their findings to Tribes or other bodies.  

If you have the opportunity to, our speakers have requested that you watch this video before joining us to learn more about the history of Indian voting in Arizona.

Established more than 30 years ago, learn how faculty and law students in the Indian Legal Program collaborates with Arizona's 22 tribes and tribes nationally to represent Native peoples and deal with Indian law issues. 

Video: The History of Indian Voting in Arizona

Join us for this high-profile panel that will address:

  • How the Indian Legal Program and Indian Legal Clinic partner closely and work with Native peoples in Arizona and nationally
  • Best practices for creating meaningful, long-term relationships among various stakeholders 
  • How advocacy and public service are core to positive change

green-growing-plant Breakout Sessions

After the plenary session, we invite you to join one of the many breakout sessions and workshops designed to bring together our network, share strategies for forging meaningful and mutually beneficial partnerships and generate institutional dialogue about how to advance socially-embedded research, teaching, student development and practices. Presentations are formatted in the following ways:

Lightning Talk

(3 presentations, ~10 minutes each)

This is a structured TED Talk-style presentation featuring 1-2 speakers, where time is dedicated to sharing knowledge through a short presentation that focuses on a particular tool, design or lesson learned. This type of session shares a best practice, idea (big, small or somewhere in the middle) and/or a new way of thinking about community-university partnerships that demonstrate how we can collaborate to achieve local and global change. This type of presentation leverages slides or additional materials minimally and includes elements of storytelling to engage the audience.

Three Lightning Talks are grouped together in a 45-minute session. 

Community Collaboration

(45 minutes)

Together with at least one community partner as a co-presenter, this more classic presentation style tells the story of ongoing social embeddedness work, research or critical thoughts about how community partnerships are essential to achieve local, national and/or global change. Co-designed by the presenters, this is an opportunity to share what they do together, including how they established this mutually-beneficial relationship, the current state and what might be next. This is also an opportunity to share insights and lessons from their experience working together and highlight and recognize each other's knowledge, expertise and contribution to local, national and/or global change. These presentations serve as unique examples of how ASU works with community partners in mutually beneficial ways.
