Haskell Indian Nations University (HINU) will develop and implement a comprehensive, interdisciplinary courses for a BS degree program in the Environmental Sciences for Native Americans. This new program will have three primary goals: (a) to help Native Americans attain mastery of the field of environmental sciences, (b) to provide an opportunity for students majoring in other disciplines to acquire basic knowledge of the natural sciences, and (c) to help preserve Native American culture by incorporating historical and traditional knowledge into course content. Student participation in designing course content and pedagogy through summer student-faculty teams will be a major part of the development of the new Environmental Science Curriculum. This facet of the program will foster mentoring and the development of a strong peer teaching nucleus. Participating students will include Environmental Science as well as Elementary Education. This curriculum will be unique because it will integrate traditional Native values and knowledge into the western scientific method. Courses to be developed within the next two years will include Applications of Mathematics for Scientists and Engineers I/II, Geographic Information Systems, Geographic Information Systems Applications, Watershed and Landscape Development, Water Quality and Water Chemistry, Native American Geography, and Ethnobotany. Future courses will include Introduction to Ecological Chemistry, Environmental Policy and Law, Indian Environmental Law, Ethnoentomology, Native American Ecosystem Management, Cultural and Archeological Resources, Resource Economics and Environmental Policy, and Restoration and Conservation Ecology.

哈斯克尔印第安民族大学 (HINU) 将为美洲原住民环境科学学士学位课程开发和实施全面的跨学科课程。 这个新项目将有三个主要目标：（a）帮助美洲原住民掌握环境科学领域，（b）为其他学科专业的学生提供获得自然科学基础知识的机会，以及（c）通过将历史和传统知识纳入课程内容来帮助保护美洲原住民文化。 学生通过暑期师生团队参与课程内容和教学法的设计将是新环境科学课程开发的主要部分。 该计划的这一方面将促进指导和强大的同伴教学核心的发展。 参与的学生将包括环境科学和基础教育专业。 该课程将是独一无二的，因为它将传统的本土价值观和知识融入西方科学方法。 未来两年内开发的课程将包括科学家和工程师数学应用I/II、地理信息系统、地理信息系统应用、流域和景观开发、水质和水化学、美洲原住民地理学和民族植物学。 未来的课程将包括生态化学概论、环境政策和法律、印度环境法、民族昆虫学、美洲原住民生态系统管理、文化和考古资源、资源经济学和环境政策以及恢复和保护生态学。
