1. **State the problem:** Evaluate the expression $$\left[\left(-\frac{4}{11}\right)^{\frac{4}{5}} \cdot \left(-\frac{4}{11}\right)^{-\frac{4}{5}}\right].$$
2. **Recall the exponent rule:** For any nonzero number $a$ and exponents $m$ and $n$, $$a^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n}.$$ This means when multiplying powers with the same base, we add the exponents.
3. **Apply the rule:** Here, the base is $-\frac{4}{11}$, and the exponents are $\frac{4}{5}$ and $-\frac{4}{5}$. So,
$$\left(-\frac{4}{11}\right)^{\frac{4}{5}} \cdot \left(-\frac{4}{11}\right)^{-\frac{4}{5}} = \left(-\frac{4}{11}\right)^{\frac{4}{5} + (-\frac{4}{5})} = \left(-\frac{4}{11}\right)^0.$$
4. **Evaluate the zero exponent:** Any nonzero number raised to the zero power equals 1, so
$$\left(-\frac{4}{11}\right)^0 = 1.$$
5. **Final answer:** The value of the expression is **1**.
