Through a partnership between the Center for Coastal Margin Observation & Prediction (CMOP) at Oregon Health & Science University, Portland State University, the Hydaburg School District, and the Hydaburg Cooperative Association, this place-based pilot project is addressing an important geoscience workforce need: the inclusion of Alaskan Natives. Native Americans are among the most underrepresented group in STEM fields despite the fact that tribal groups integrate an understanding of the natural world as an important part of their cultural heritage. This pilot project takes advantage of contemporary coastal-margin understanding and tools to support both the cultural and the geoscience education needs of K-12 students, teachers, and citizens of Hydaburg, a Haida village on Prince of Wales Island in Southeast Alaska. Project elements include student research focused on coastal physical and ecological environments, teacher professional development, and creation of a culturally-tailored suite of curricular resources that incorporate Traditional Ecological Knowledge and inquiry skills. Throughout the project, students are developing valuable workforce skills of relevance to the local community and learning about education and career pathways in the geosciences.

通过俄勒冈州健康科学大学海岸边缘观测预测中心（CMOP）、波特兰州立大学、海达堡学区和海达堡合作协会之间的伙伴关系，这个以地方为基础的试点项目正在解决一个重要的地球科学劳动力需求：包括阿拉斯加土著人。 美洲原住民是STEM领域代表性最低的群体之一，尽管部落群体将对自然世界的理解作为其文化遗产的重要组成部分。这个试点项目利用当代海岸边缘的理解和工具，以支持K-12学生，教师和海达堡，在阿拉斯加东南部威尔士王子岛海达村公民的文化和地球科学教育需求。项目内容包括学生研究侧重于沿海的物理和生态环境，教师专业发展，并创建一个文化定制的课程资源套件，将传统生态知识和探究技能。 在整个项目中，学生们正在开发与当地社区相关的宝贵的劳动力技能，并学习地球科学的教育和职业道路。
