Arapaho Voice Working Sessions Approach:

Who is currently in charge of the program?

What do you/we know about the program? (How does it–or is it supposed to–serve the tribe?)

What are the issues? Is it working? Is it not working?

When did the problems start? Who was in charge at the time? (Estimate timeline of events.)

Where is it located? Is it accessible to all? Did it move?

Why did the problems happen? (We may or may not know.)

Can we access documents, records, and archives?

How do we find and/or offer a solution(s)? (Have at least one.)
