Flathead Geoscience Education ProjectThe Flathead Geoscience Education Project (FGEP) is investigating the geological history of the Flathead Indian Reservation (FIR) through a combination of modern geological research, tribal knowledge and oral histories. Through a series of meetings, discussions, field trips, video and audio recordings, and development of a curriculum replacement unit for reservation high schools, geoscience concepts are being integrated with Indigenous knowledge and views of the landscape. The project is being used to both enhance Earth Science education across the reservation and recruit new Earth Science students into Salish Kootenai College. High school students and their teachers are key targets for the FGEP. Students in grades 11 and 12 and their teachers are partnering with Salish Kootenai College students and faculty and tribal elders to analyze a variety of natural resources data (geology, hydrology, soils, and vegetation) via Geographic Information Systems and address scientific questions pertinent to members of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes. These efforts will provide participants with a more in-depth understanding of local geology and hydrology, while promoting awareness of Indigenous knowledge of landscapes and their evolution and incorporating connections between western science, native science, and culture into curricula at different educational levels. Collaborations formed through this project are expected to help improve natural and cultural resource education, management, and preservation on the reservation.

弗拉特黑德地球科学教育项目弗拉特黑德地球科学教育项目 (FGEP) 正在通过现代地质研究、部落知识和口述历史的结合来调查弗拉特黑德印第安保留地 (FIR) 的地质历史。通过一系列会议、讨论、实地考察、视频和录音以及为保留地高中开发课程替代单元，地球科学概念正在与土著知识和景观观点相结合。该项目用于加强整个保留地的地球科学教育，并招收新的地球科学学生进入萨利什·库特奈学院。高中生及其老师是 FGEP 的主要目标。 11 年级和 12 年级的学生及其老师与萨利什库特奈学院的学生、教师和部落长老合作，通过地理信息系统分析各种自然资源数据（地质、水文、土壤和植被），并解决与萨利什和库特奈部落联盟成员相关的科学问题。 这些努力将使参与者对当地地质和水文学有更深入的了解，同时提高对土著景观知识及其演变的认识，并将西方科学、本土科学和文化之间的联系纳入不同教育级别的课程中。 通过该项目形成的合作预计将有助于改善保护区的自然和文化资源教育、管理和保护。
