University of California-Riverside doctoral student Kohanya Ranch, with the guidance of Dr. Anne Sutherland, will undertake research on how revitalization movements affect American Indian political and social influence. The overarching research questions are: How do indigenous, legal, political, and scientific perspectives differ, how are those differences negotiated, what are the outcomes for stakeholders, and what role do revitalization movements play? The research will be conducted in southern California where there is a large concentration of Chumash American Indian tribes. Research methodologies will include participant observation in arenas of indigenous cultural reclamation and policy negotiation; interviews with stakeholders; and analysis of archival materials including newspaper articles and legal documents. Social network analysis will complement these methods by empirically mapping informational and relational ties in indigenous policy and revitalization networks. This research is important because it will pioneer an application of social network analysis to theorizing the outcomes of stakeholder negotiation. The results of the research will also have practical policy implications. Funding this research also supports the education of a graduate student.

加州大学河滨分校博士生Kohanya Ranch在Anne Sutherland博士的指导下，将研究复兴运动如何影响美国印第安人的政治和社会影响力。首要的研究问题是：如何做土著，法律的，政治和科学的观点不同，这些差异是如何谈判，利益攸关方的结果是什么，以及振兴运动发挥什么作用？ 这项研究将在加州南部进行，那里有大量的丘马什美洲印第安部落。研究方法将包括在土著文化开垦和政策谈判的舞台上进行参与观察;与利益攸关方进行访谈;分析档案材料，包括报纸文章和法律的文件。社会网络分析将对这些方法进行补充，根据经验绘制土著政策和振兴网络中的信息和关系纽带。 这项研究是重要的，因为它将开创社会网络分析的应用理论化的利益相关者谈判的结果。研究结果还将对政策产生实际影响。资助这项研究也支持研究生的教育。
