MEMORANDUM
TO:

Oneida Business Committee

FROM:

Jo Anne House, Chief Counsel

DATE:

May 3, 2023

SUBJECT: Research Request – Webster. House, Stevens – Bean Rematriation
The above individuals have requested authorization to conduct research on the Oneida
Reservation. The research proposes to “document oral history of how Native American
seedkeepers and communities received bean seeds and other seeds back into their communities.”
The researchers will conduct individual interviews and focus group sessions. Sample questions
would include –
Does your family have a history of growing beans?
How did you or your family acquire your bean seeds?
Do you have any stories you would like to share about bean seeds or other seeds?
The Institutional Research Boards for University of Minnesota Duluth, University of Wisconsin
Oshkosh and University of Wisconsin Green Bay have identified under the revised-NIH rules
that no IRB review is required.
The Oneida Nation has adopted resolution # BC-05-08-19-A, Research Requests: Review and
Approval to Conduct. This research request involves conducting interviews and focus groups,
recording those activities, and reporting the findings. Members participating will be required to
consent to be interviewed and that the information and/or interview may be utilized to produce a
“research paper, research article, book, website, and/or film.” This would be like the elder
interview videos the Nation had undertaken in the past and a new group of interviews is being
conducted. These videos appear on a YouTube channel.
I have found nothing in this research proposal that would cause harm to the Nation, its
community or otherwise misrepresent the culture or history. Unlike other research projects, this
is not a focused activity to produce a specific product, it is intended to create a research database
for the individual. As such, the request is rather broad.
Recommendation: Motion to approve the “Bean Rematriation” research study by Dr.’s
Webster, House, and Stevens and to request the researchers share the results with the Oneida
Nation Museum for use in other research or projects.

RE: Institutional Review Board (IRB) Application to Oneida Nation – Bean Rematriation
Shekóli Dr. House,
We are writing to request approval from the Oneida Nation for a project to gather oral history
stories from Oneida tribal members and extended Indigenous community members. There are
three of us on the research team representing three different universities. All three of us are
enrolled Oneida Nation citizens. We have each obtained exemptions from our respective
institutions for this research based on the classification of our work as the collection of oral
history and not as a study of human subjects.
Our goals with this project are to capture stories of Indigenous seed varieties coming home to our
people, with a focus on beans. We want to gather historical and contemporary stories from
people about the process of being reunited with those bean relatives. We believe that being
reunited with our seeds is a way for us to simultaneously reconnect with our language, history,
culture, and community.
More information about our project is included in the exemption application from UMD attached
to this letter. We are also including the exemption notifications from our respective institutions
informing us we are exempt from those IRB processes. In addition, we are including our semi
structured interview questions and the consent form for participants to sign.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

any time without any penalties. Any data collected about the participants will

interview questions and focus group discussions will take place predominately
on the Oneida Reservation in Wisconsin.

1.3

Data and/or specimens
● Data and/or Specimen Collection and Analysis
