When is a pat on the shoulder more appropriate than a handshake? Why is it rude to maintain direct eye contact with certain tribal members? Milton Bluehouse, Jr. will help us understand better the inadvertent “faux pas” one culture may make when dealing with another -- without even realizing it.
Mr. Bluehouse is a Navajo tribal member from Ganado, Arizona. He specializes in tribal intergovernmental relations with federal and state governments with focus areas on the environment, natural resources, cultural/sacred sites, tribal consultation facilitation, and process design. Mr. Bluehouse has provided tribal intergovernmental and community relations training to over 5,000 state and federal employees.
