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.

分享土地：建立部落地球科学专门知识这一项目是一项合作努力，旨在增加美洲原住民的人数，他们有机会获得全面的、以地方为基础的地球科学教育，并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，一是增加保留地在地球和环境科学方面的专门知识，二是更好地了解如何最有效和适当地将文化上持有的土著地球科学知识纳入美洲印第安人社区的地球科学教学。 这项合作的合作伙伴包括圣地亚哥州立大学、区域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的合作项目，一个由当地部落社区运营并为当地部落社区、高中科学系运营的成熟的中学和高中到大学的桥梁项目，以及一个针对幼儿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人才的渠道。 许多当地的美洲原住民儿童参加我们的探险家俱乐部户外科学项目，学习了解和享受他们的环境，文化和科学之间的联系。 我们已经看到这些孩子中的许多人长大，并进入青年本土学者高中到大学的桥梁计划。 通过根据当地问题和当地地质环境合作设计的高中课程，学生为大学科学做好了充分准备，并意识到地球科学的职业选择。 所有的努力都得到了项目支持的工作经验，参与学生在部落环境管理办公室对他们的家庭保留。 学生继续到圣地亚哥州立大学地质科学学士学位。和史密斯学位，并加入由该部门教育的当地美洲原住民越来越多的行列，他们返回工作并生活在自己的家乡社区，帮助完成循环并培养下一代美洲原住民地球科学家。 这个项目已经产生并将继续产生对美洲土著人地球科学教育最佳做法的见解，为越来越多的研究机构增加独特的信息，以了解将所有代表性不足的群体纳入地球科学事业的最佳方法。
