Abstract
AbstractIn this chapter, we reflect upon the historical context and intersection of kinship and its relationality to Indigenous evaluators and their path to the evaluation profession. Indigenous evaluators with Indigenous lens perspectives are crucial to the field of evaluation. Our ability to ensure the success of current and future Indigenous evaluators requires that we reflect and examine both evaluation and Indigenous experience through an Indigenous lens. Our narrative concludes with suggestions that we move past the status quo of evaluation learning and teaching and embrace the concept of kinship as a component of addressing this complex and challenging issue within the field of evaluation.
