Sharing the Land: Building Tribal Earth Science ExpertiseThis project is a collaborative effort designed to increase the number of Native Americans who have access to a well-rounded, place-based education in the Earth sciences and who understand the utility of the geosciences for tribal resource management and the connections between the geosciences and indigenous culture and knowledge. The Indigenous Earth Sciences Project has the dual goals of increasing on-reservation expertise in the Earth and environmental sciences and developing a better understanding of how to most productively and appropriately integrate culturally-held, indigenous, scientific Earth science knowledge into the teaching of the Earth sciences in American Indian communities. Partners in this collaboration include San Diego State University, regional Native American reservation communities and the high schools and educational programs that serve these communities. This project has formally united cooperating programs in adult education, a well established middle- and high-school to college bridge program operated by and for local tribal communities, high-school science departments, and an early outreach program in outdoor science for younger children. Together these programs have combined into a complete and culturally responsive recruitment and retention pipeline. Many local Native American children participate in our Explorers Clubs outdoor science programs, learning to understand and enjoy the connections between their environment, culture and science. We have seen many of these children grow up and move on into the Young Native Scholars high school to college bridge program. With cooperatively designed high school curricula based in local issues and the local geological setting, students become well prepared for college science and aware of career options in the Earth sciences. All efforts are augmented by project-supported work experience for participating students in tribal environmental management offices on their home reservations. Students continue to San Diego State University Geological Sciences for B.S. and M.S. degrees, and join the growing ranks of local Native Americans educated by the department who return to work and live in their home communities, helping complete the cycle and grow the next generation of Native American geoscientists. This project has produced and continues to produce insights into best practices in Native American geoscience education, adding unique information to the growing body of research into the best approaches to the inclusion of all under-represented groups in the earth science enterprise.

共享土地：建立部落地球科学专家该项目是一项合作努力，旨在增加美洲原住民接受全面的、以地点为基础的地球科学教育的人数，这些人了解地球科学对部落资源管理的效用，以及地球科学与土著文化和知识之间的联系。土著地球科学项目有两个目标，一是增加在保留地的地球和环境科学方面的专门知识，二是更好地了解如何以最有成效和最适当的方式将文化上持有的土著科学地球科学知识融入到美洲印第安人社区的地球科学教学中。合作伙伴包括圣地亚哥州立大学、地区美洲原住民保留地社区以及为这些社区服务的高中和教育项目。该项目正式联合了成人教育方面的合作项目，一个由当地部落社区、高中科学部门运营并为其运营的成熟的初中和高中到大学的桥梁项目，以及一个针对年幼儿童的户外科学早期推广项目。这些计划结合在一起，形成了一个完整的、符合文化要求的招聘和留住渠道。许多当地的美洲原住民儿童参加我们的探险者俱乐部户外科学项目，学习理解和享受他们的环境、文化和科学之间的联系。我们看到这些孩子中的许多人长大了，进入了青年原住民学者高中到大学的桥梁项目。通过基于当地问题和当地地质环境的合作设计的高中课程，学生为大学科学做好了充分的准备，并意识到在地球科学领域的职业选择。为参加部落环境管理办公室的学生在他们的家园保留地提供项目支持的工作经验，所有努力都得到了加强。学生们继续在圣地亚哥州立大学地质科学学院攻读学士和硕士学位，并加入越来越多由该部门教育的当地美洲原住民的行列，这些人回到自己的社区工作和生活，帮助完成这一周期，培养下一代美国原住民地球科学家。该项目已经并将继续产生对美洲土著地球科学教育最佳做法的见解，为越来越多的研究增加独特的信息，以最佳方法将所有代表性不足的群体纳入地球科学事业。
