Methods. To address the diverse cultural and scientific issues, the faculty presented customized workshops during conferences for Native American college students. Results. The authors discuss current issues and techniques in cancer education in Native American communities. Conclusions. Better understanding of tribal culture among researchers will enhance Native Americans’ collaboration in research.
