In addition, participants will learn that all Indian Tribes are different and each has its own individual cultural identity and norms, so that it is necessary to become familiar with each individual Tribe and not resort to stereotypes. This research is in response to a social problem. This practice is prevalent in academia and professional research non-profit organizations. The strategy for this research is to focus on the concept of community change as seen by residents, service providers and partnering research entities. The thesis is that developing the capacity of community organizations and neighborhood residents in East Austin will increase the quality of services provided, quality of decision making process and redistribute the power dynamics in the community so that the local residents will become more self reliant and interdependent with each other.
