Evaluation scholars have offered culturally responsive evaluation theories, methods, and frameworks, but few have applied them to systems or governance evaluations. Culturally responsive and systems evaluation literature does not address the unique legal and political components of sovereign Tribal/First Nations Governments. This chapter addresses literature and practice gaps through an emerging Nation‐to‐Nation (N2N) Systems Evaluation Framework. Applying Tribal Critical Theory (TCT) to systems and governance evaluations, the author builds on an emerging Tribal Critical Systems Theory (TCST) to consider future culturally responsive and legally inclusive evaluation applications at systems and governance levels. TCST is applied within an emerging N2N systems evaluation model helping evaluation practitioners conceptualize systems evaluation design used between sovereign governments.
