The NuTeV collaboration has extracted the electroweak parameter sin²q_w from the measurement of the ratios of neutral current to charged current cross sections for both neutrinos and antineutrinos. We find that our measurement, while in agreement with previous neutrino electroweak measurements, is not consistent with the Standard Model prediction. To facilitate interpretation of this result, model independent analyses will be presented.
