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.

美国原住民青年暑期科学营纽约州立大学环境科学与林业学院原住民与环境中心（CNPE）将与美国东北部的原住民社区合作，开发和协调一项生态科学教育计划。这项工作的一个组成部分是为期十天的夏季实地经验，将结合联合收割机生态科学和传统生态知识。该计划将每年为20名美国原住民学生提供服务，为期三年。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。将利用阿迪朗达克西部的SUNY ESF蔓越莓湖湖生物站（CLBS）和圣劳伦斯河上由Akwesasne的莫霍克理事会运营的汤普森岛青年营（TIYC）。这两个地点分别代表着科学生态知识和传统生态知识的中心，两者都有良好的设备和人员提供该竞技场的方案。该计划将通过结合科学和传统生态知识的夏季科学体验，培养美国原住民青年接受环境科学高等教育的动机和准备。它将促进美洲原住民国家和纽约州立大学ESF土著人民和环境中心之间的合作科学和教育举措，这可以作为大学-部落伙伴关系的典范。欲了解更多信息，请联系Robin Kimmerer，PI：[e-mail]并访问http://www.esf.edu/efb/faculty/kimmerer.htm。
