Question

You are negotiating a joint venture with the oglala lakota tribe in south dakota to start a publishing house focusing on the fiction, memoirs, and academic scholarship of indigenous peoples worldwide. you come from the dominant low-context u.s. culture. you quickly become aware that the tribal leaders are seeking to build a relationship based on trust and will not do business until that is established. based on this insight, you also expect that: check all that apply.

Answer 1

Based on the insight, you could expect that: 

-They may place a high value on the well-being of all the people who would be involved in the publishing enterprise, those people’s families, and even the tribe as a whole
-The nonverbal components of communication, such as where they meet, how they dress, and their body language, will be very important


Based on the situation, we can conclude that you both couldn't rely on verbal communication at all since both of you do not possess basic understanding upon each other's language, so utilizing non-verbal communication and body language would be the most efficient method for you in this particular situation.
