1) Could you provide more insight into the level of involvement expected from each Tribe?
Are there preferences for virtual or in-person meetings, or specific protocols for engaging with Tribal representatives? It will vary and it will depend on the level of interest of each tribe for participation. Most likely, this will require meeting in person, especially when conducting interviews. The BLM 1780 Handbook is a good reference for protocols - see attached. They will also need to adhere to policies pertaining to handling culturally sensitive information and data confidentiality with Indigenous Knowledge. Participants should sign an informed consent and release form, after the contractor reviews the project with them. Tribes should have an opportunity in co-production of the ethnography, such as reviewing the draft ethnography to ensure that sensitive information is taken out or presented in a way that is respectful to them. It should be clarified that any information that is recorded may be subject to FOIA.
2) Are there particular standards or formats required for data collection, specific or preferred formats? Vendors should follow best practices and ethics established by the American Anthropological Association. BLM should receive the final product, as well as a copy sent to each tribe.
3) Are there any additional deliverables or expectations beyond those listed in the scope of work, like a specific number of interviews or site visits? Nothing outside the scope of work is expected.
