Abstract
Major concerns about conducting research in American Indian communities are reviewed and discussed. Examples of three research projects conducted with Indian communities are summarized, and procedures found to be sensitive to the cultural milieu of the community are examined. Emphasis is placed on involving community residents in the total research effort where sojourner-scientist and resident are mutual beneficiaries.
