You raise an interesting point here Kate, in terms of funding additional trips. I myself have a PhD and have worked in academia so I know the problems of getting funding. I think it would be difficult to get a trip approved just to present your previous findings. I also agree with you about presenting results that demonstrate a favourable position. We see this all the time when big industry funds research. It would not be surprising therefore, to see it also happen in something like this. Great post. I really enjoyed reading it.

I'm glad you enjoyed choogirl! I mean I'm sure in reality some compromises can be worked out in the practice. For example perhaps in the case of students they could get permission from the tribe to publish within their thesis/dissertation without tribal review, but seek review with the tribe prior to publishing in a peer reviewed journal.
My sister-sort-of-in-law has actually worked with the San man in the main photo of the Smithsonian article, and she wondered if they actually got his permission to use his photo for the article (in which they discuss getting permission for use of any photos!). Kinda funny.
