Cultural Awareness Research Dear Community Member: Researchers at Kean
University in Communication Sciences & Disorders are conducting research
about Native American culture. The purpose of this research is to explore
cultural categories that inform communication in the Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape
tribe. The objective of this research is to generate an emic awareness of the
community’s communication processes from a cultural perspective through the
use of ethnographic interviewing. If you choose to participate,
you will take part in an ethnographic interview that will ask you general and
specific questions about your cultural experiences and knowledge about the
Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape community and how that has informed your
communication. We will sit together in a place of your choice for the interview, or it will be conducted virtually based on your preference. The
session will be audio and/or video recorded with your permission and may take
between 1 and 2 hours. Only the researchers and you will be present during
this session. To schedule a time to
participate in this study contact Shivani Raina at rainas@kean.edu (908) 737-5809 or Iyad Ghanim at iyaghani@kean.edu or (908) 737-5823. If you have questions,

University Institutional Review Board (IRB). Thank you, Dr. Shivani Raina,
