Native American Communication Patterns

Eye contact: Direct prolonged eye contact is seen as invasive. It?s avoidance is practiced to "protect the personal autonomy of the interactors" (Darnell, 1988, p. 6). Eye contact is usually fleeting, and the gaze of listener and speaker will often remain around the forehead, mouth, ear or throat area. Direct gaze to an elder or very respected person is seen as especially rude, unless one is in a formal listening/storytelling situation, in which case "?listeners may look at (the speaker) more directly ? without violating his or her personal space by eye contact"
