This session will focus on the challenges and successes of the Coeur d'Alene Tribe in developing priorities and partnerships with outside agencies, including universities, to address regional climate issues. The desired audience is Tribal environmental staff who are interested in building stronger research agendas in order to meet the emerging needs presented by climate change. Attendees will learn how they can consider establishing a research framework, policies and procedures, and research priorities to better position them to steer research that is responsive to community needs.
AND
Our research will discuss the impacts of environmental research with Indigenous students, and how decolonial research can be used as a strategy to accomplish two goals: promote the health of Indigenous Peoples and promote the health of the environment. For this presentation, it will consist of an interactive workshop that allows the presenter and audience to share stories and mutual experiences. Through utilizing this collaborative process, the audience will be able to provide their personal input, learn from others, and learn how to apply it all to a bigger narrative of protecting our people, and our planet.
