Using the Indigenous Conceptual Framework Guiding School Psychology Practice with Indigenous Youth, Families, and Communities illustrated herein and first published within the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) position statement on "Effective Service Delivery for Indigenous Children and Youth" (NASP, 2012), this article provides a context within which school psychologists can expand their repertoires of culturally relevant practice with Native American/Indigenous students. It describes the Indigenous world view that informs the framework and addresses its major components, providing specific guiding questions useful to school psychologists to help deepen their understanding of each area. In addition, it aligns with key elements from the NASP "Model for Comprehensive and Integrated School Psychological Services" (NASP Practice Model; NASP, 2010). This is the first article in a series designed to support school psychologists gaining facility in using the framework.
