项目摘要

Summer Science Camp for Native American YouthThe Center for Native Peoples and the Environment (CNPE) at the State University of New York (SUNY) College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) will develop and coordinate an ecological science education program in collaboration with Native American communities of the northeastern United States. Integral to this effort is a ten-day summer field experience which will combine ecological science and traditional ecological knowledge. The program would serve 20 Native American students annually, for a sequence of three years. Students will be recruited from the 15 tribes in the northeastern United States, through existing collaborative networks. SUNY ESF Cranberry Lake Biological Station (CLBS) in the western Adirondacks and the Thompson Island Youth Camp (TIYC) operated by the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne, on the St. Lawrence River will be utilized. The two sites represent centers of scientific ecological knowledge and traditional ecological knowledge, respectively and both are well equipped and staffed to provide programs in that arena. This program will nurture motivation and preparation for higher education in environmental sciences among Native American youth, through this summer science experience which combines scientific and traditional ecological knowledge. It will foster collaborative scientific and educational initiatives between Native American Nations and SUNY ESF Center for Native Peoples and the Environment, which can serve as a model for university-tribal partnerships.

纽约州立大学（SUNY）环境科学与林业学院（ESF）的美国原住民与环境中心（CNPE）的夏季科学训练营（CNPE）将与美国东北部的美国原住民社区合作制定并协调一个生态科学教育计划。这项工作不可或缺的是为期十天的夏季田野经验，它将结合生态科学和传统的生态知识。该计划将每年为20名美国原住民学生提供三年的序列。学生将通过现有的合作网络从美国东北部的15个部落招募。 SUNY ESF Cranberry Lake生物站（CLBS）在阿迪朗达克山脉西部和汤普森岛青年营（TIYC）（由阿克维斯斯郡莫霍克郡理事会）在圣劳伦斯河上运营。这两个地点分别代表了科学生态知识和传统生态知识的中心，并且都有能力良好且配备人员在该领域提供计划。该计划将通过这项夏季科学经验结合了科学和传统的生态知识，从而培养美洲原住民青年环境科学的高等教育的动力和准备。它将促进美国原住民国家和纽约州立大学ESF土著人民与环境中心之间的合作科学和教育计划，这些中心可以充当大学 - 部落合作伙伴关系的典范。有关更多信息，请通过：rkimmer@esf.edu与Robin Kimmerer联系，然后访问http://www.esf.edu/efb/faculty/kimmerer.htm。
